ssh tunneling for a newbie :)

[Mathieu Parent]

Hello !

I am currently working on some bioinformatics project. I installed a
software called ProgressiveMauve for genome alignment on the company server.

In fact, it needs to forward the X11 window to my mac in order to visualize
the alignment.

Thanks a lot in advance !
Regards,
Mathieu

Here is whet I get back when I call the software, I connected with ssh -X <*
IP*>
