Is there any browser utility I can use in SSH for Linux
772
Is there a text-based browser available for Linux (CentsOS) which I can use when I SSH to my server.
I use CentOS release 5.5. My server do not have graphic interface.
If you install a X server such as Cygwin/X on your local machine then you can instruct your SSH client to enable X forwarding and run a graphical browser such as Firefox or Chrome if the xorg-x11-xauth package is installed on the server.
I find it convenient to set up socks forwarding using OpenSSH's -D $port option. Then use a firefox extension that does fine-grained proxy configuration (FoxyProxy IIRC), and tell it to tunnel some sites through the socks proxy at localhost:$port .
You can try
links http://www.example.comorlynx http://www.example.comYou can also try
links -gto put it into "graphics" mode but I don't think this will work over SSH.If you install a X server such as Cygwin/X on your local machine then you can instruct your SSH client to enable X forwarding and run a graphical browser such as Firefox or Chrome if the
xorg-x11-xauthpackage is installed on the server.Elinks which originates from links. It has support for Javascript, tabs, frames, tables...
I also like w3m, but I don't think it supports Javascript.
Here is Wikipedia's list of text-based browsers
