How to view images on an EC2 instance


I have images that I am generating and need to be able to view. Is there a way to view the images I have saved on my EC2 instance without scp'ing them over every time I regenerate them?

I tried using eog but I got the following error:

GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.

(eog:15870): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 

Solution

  • I ended up using PyCharm professional to sync with the remote server. It let me browse the file system and view images and works with my Mac.
