Hi all,

i will disable telnet and i will use ssh (more secure).

Can you please tell me what is the TCP port used by Xceed to open remote
session Xterm with possibility to use GUI interface of application ?


All X traffic from the remote host to the X server will connect on port
6000+display. In most cases you're on display 0, so it's port 6000.

i am using port 6000 to connect to Xserver and use Xterm. Is-it secure
like ssh ?

Secure means many different things. If you mean is it encrypted, then
no.

Most SSH clients allow for tunneling of X traffic. So you can send the
traffic (encrypted) via SSH to the local machine, where it then hops
over to port 6000.
