[Libssh] X11 forwarding and Forward listening

[Vic Lee]

Hi guys,

First of all thanks for this great project!

Acually I am using almost all SSH client features (port forwarding, shell, sftp) in my project (grdc) so I really appreciate it.

Recently I am seeking the possibility to use X11 forwarding. This is the the feature in openssh -X option.

Another feature is forward listening: ask the SSH server to listen on a port, and if a connection is made, create a tunnel to the SSH client.

And I think X11 forwarding can be implemented through forward listening (by asking the SSH server to listen on a dummy x11 display and tunnel back to the local X server) but I need some more time to look at the openssh source code to understand exactly how it works.

Are these two features already planned in the future?

Thanks again!

Vic
