    Hello,
    I try to start with my local installation of RKWard an R console on a server, to which I am connected via SSh tunnel.
    Is there any way to make RKWard using this console instead of the locally installed one? I couldn't find any related posts, even if I would assume that many people have the same problem, that RKWard would be perfect to control R on a distant server.

    Thanks for any help, best wishes!

    Hi!

    This is not currently possible, but we do intend to support this, eventually. However this does mean a good bit of development effort, and we're always short on time. Thus, please don't hold your breath.

    As an interim solution, you may want to consider running RKWard on the remote server, using a VNC or remote X11 connection tunnelled through SSH.

    Regards
    Thomas
