You are trying to run ‘filename’ as a program/shell.

Probably NOT what you want.

If you are trying to edit that file, you should say ‘ssh –Y me@there ‘emacs Documents/filename’

To log in and run the editor THERE and have it display HERE:

ssh –Y me@there

<you log in to ‘there’>
emacs Documents/filename

openoffice Documents/filename
whatever Documents/filename

exit

Subject: Re: x forwarding ssh

Xforwarding is set to 'yes' but it keeps telling me 'Name or service not known'. The command I'm issueing is:

ssh -Y <user>@192.168.0.3:/home/<user>/Documents/<filename>

The remote machine's /etc/ssh/sshd_config file must have "X11Forwarding yes"
in it, I thought. sshd's default is to set that to no, isn't it?

And if that doesn't work, try "ssh -Y remotemachine" since -X can run afoul of
one of X's security extensions. At least that's what the man page said, and I
had some trouble using -X a while back while -Y worked.

Yep.
