You can easily transfer files to and from the remote Linux system. Using the "Remote XDMCP Session" option you can project the desktop environment defined for the remote Linux system in a single window on your local Windows machine and work as if you were sitting at the remote computer. To do this, use the "Bookmarks" menu option, select "Manage my bookmark", click "Create", enter the requested information, and click the "Create a desktop shortcut to this bookmark" button. Optionally, you can create a shortcut to streamline future remote server connections.For example, you can use the "ipconfig" command to display the IP address of your computer. Before you log in to the remote system using ssh, you can run some local Windows programs at the MobaXterm command line.This "DISPLAY" variable on the remote system is set by MobaXterm so that graphical user interfaces are displayed on your local (MS Windows) machine. For example, to start xterm in the background enter " xterm &". In general it is a good idea to start such programs in the "background" using the ampersand (&) parameter so that the terminal can be used for other commands.

For example, entering "xterm" will start a xterm terminal window, from which you can launch other programs.
