If you are used a terminal to connect to remote server to develop, maybe you want to found a fastest method to see a remote server picture.
Before I have more time to study the method of remotely opening pictures, I have been using scp command to send the pictures to local side for viewing. But it spent a lot of time.
My conclusion is that using the feh command with ssh -Y to build a remote graphical connection is a faster way to view the pictures.
How to use feh
First, we need to use ssh -Y to connect the remote server.
ssh -Y user@server_ipAnd you can check the localhost value of environment variable $DISPLAY. (Such as [Linux] Open remote server GUI program via terminal)
If you have no feh command in your environment, you need to use the following command to install it:
sudo apt install fehAfter the installation is over, we can quickly open the picture on the terminal connected to the remote end! Here is an example:
Output:
The opening speed is less than one second. If I use “eog” here, it feels about two or three seconds.
