xwindows+port

To explain the topic a bit better.
I want to write a program that will write display to port 6000 (Xserver port)
or get X-applications to run from my program.
I don't want to program new applications, I want to run existing appplications, ex XClock etc.

Will be greatfull for any help and could even try to donate a digital beer for any help.
 

You must have an X server running on your local machine. Then you can launch applications from the remote computer.
So, start your X server if its not already running. Find the hostname or IP address of the local computer the X server is running on. (For example "workstation"). Log on to your remote computer and do:
$ export DISPLAY=workstation:0
if you're using sh or Bash as the shell.
Make sure the path points to the X applications
And just do:
$ xclock &

Make sure you have authorized the x applications to connect to your X server.
 

erm...hehe..sorry.
actually maybe I didn't explain...I want to
program in C++ or any ISO-C.
I know how to call remote x-apps through ssh etc.
So the problem is actually the port forwarding in C
 

You probably have to look up how to use the SSL libraries.
