Cube Server

cube_server is part of the cubelib installation.

cube_server [ -p N ] Bind socket on port N (default port: 3300)

Many hosts don't allow ports to be accessed from the outside. You may use SSH tunneling (also referred to as SSH port forwarding) to route the local network traffic throught SSH to the remote host.
In the following example, cube_server is started with the default port 3300 on the remote server server.example.com. The traffic, which is sent to localhost:3000, will be forwarded to server.example.com on the same port.

[client]$ ssh -L 3300:server.example.com:3300 server.example.com
[server.example.com]$ cube_server
Cube Server: CubeLib-4.6.0 (external) [POSIX]
cube_server[5247] Waiting for connections on port 3300.

Cube Client

CubeGUI can also be used to open a cube file on a remote host which runs cube_server (see Figure open).

"open": File menu

After selecting "Open Url..." a remote file dialog appears (see Figure RemoteDialog) .

"RemoteDialog": Remote file dialog

The first line contains the URL to the remote Cube Server. After having changed this line, the reload-Button on the right has to be pushed to reconnect to the server.
