# ssh -Y <username>@<hostname>

"<username>@" is optional. Without it, ssh will use the username you are using on the client.
"<hostname>" is either an IP address or, if you have a hosts file or DNS server configured, the hostname.

The "-Y" sorts out the forwarding for X applications.

I see also the suggestion
  
$ ssh -Y <server>
 
but what would be the syntax for specifying <server> where <server>
is a different computer on the same local network?

Does it have an IP address?

I see where I missed changing the Subject from an old message: embarrassing on me.

Being on the same local network, the other machine would have an intranet IP address of 192.168.0.x, where x would be a number >= 2.

I have mounted file systems by NFS but have never accessed an X server by ssh.  I don't think I ever used ssh command directly.
