Hi:

I have two computers.
Computer A is behind a firewall.
Computer B is not.

I can establish an ssh connection from A to B but not visa versa.
Once that connection is established, I can transfer files back and forth.
If I can move data back and forth, shouldn't it be possible to shuttle an
xterm back and forth?

Essentially I want to get an xterm of A while sitting at B.
One thought is to open the connection from A and forward an xterm back to
B. That way when I arrive at B, I will have the xterm to A waiting for me.

Is this possible or something that achieves the same result?

Specific examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
