I'm trying to copy files form a remote Linux machine to my home Windows machine. I currently use putty to access and modify the files but sometimes it would be easier if I could copy them over, work on them then copy them back but I'm unsure about how to do that.

Also I've tried to get an X terminal working for visual things when I remote access but can't seem to get it to run.

If anyone could help with either of these that would be awesome

Thanks
 
Install Xming on your windows PC
run it
Open up putty
In the settings look for a tick box that says "Enabled X forwarding" or something (I forget the exact terminology)
enable it.
Save settings
Connect to linux box
run graphical program
watch as magic happens

I've tried this and can't seem to get it to work. I installed Xming and it's running, I open putty and tick the Enable x11 forwarding box, but I'm not sure what to put in the X display location box, is this the location of Xming? And which exe do I point it to if so?
