Connect to X11 Server Through ssh Using Cygwin/X on Windows

Assuming the server is setup correctly. Look at this question on StackExchange if you need help.

On the client (Windows machine) side:

1. Install Cygwin[1] and Cygwin/X[2]
2. Set $DISPLAY variable in your startup script (I put it in ~/.bashrc)
   

   # Add DISPLAY for X11 forwarding
   export DISPLAY=":0.0"
   

3. Start a Cygwin Terminal and
1. Start X Server

   startxwin &

2. Connect to your server
   

   # -Y      Enables trusted X11 forwarding.
   ssh -Y ${server_to_connect}

3. Now you can run the application on the server and the GUI will be shown in your Windows machine. You can test by xlog
   

   xlogo
