Installing/Configuring PuTTy and Xming
Most of us connect to the CTM server via a PC running Windows,
essentially making the PC a terminal. The PC interacts with the
server through the X-windows system, forwarding the display from
the server to the PC. Software must be installed on the PC to
make this link work and the best software (so far) for this task is
the PuTTy terminal emulator and the Xming X-window client.
PuTTy can be downloaded
from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Xming can be downloaded
from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?
group_id=156984&filename=Xming-6-9-0-31-setup.exe
Once PuTTy and Xming have been downloaded to the PC, install
according to their respective instructions.
Configuring Xming
Once Xming is installed, run the application called 'XLaunch' and
verify that the settings are as shown:

Save the configuration and close XLaunch

Configuring PuTTy
After installing PuTTy, double-click on the PuTTy icon on the
desktop and configure as shown:

The most important setting is the X11 Forwarding. Without that

set, the X-window system cannot find your PC for display. Save
the configuration by typing a name (i.e. CTM) in the box under
'Saved Sessions' on the Sessions screen. Press the Save button to
save the configuration. Click Open to open the terminal window or
Cancel to close PuTTy.
The next time PuTTy is run, the session named CTM will be shown.
Select CTM with the mouse and click Open to launch.
