Description

I tried two methods, both of which failed:

  1. Try launching the fiftyone app in the Jupyterlab notebook on the google VM instance. Executing session = fo.launch_app(dataset) in the cell does not render the app, but shows an error message localhost refused connection Do I have to do some port forwarding? I have a feeling this is some simple issue that could be fixed with VM configuration. image

  2. I also tried connecting from my local Windows 10 machine, using a standalone app. Tried the ssh method with fiftyone app connect -d [XXXX@]XXX.XXX.XXX.244 -i C:\Users\test\.ssh\asd.ppk

Getting an error: RuntimeError: This command is currently not supported on Windows Tried --destination, same error.

Does this work only for Linux?

  1. Is there a way to remote connect from a local machine without CLI?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Analyze the current implementation of the `fiftyone app connect` command for Linux and identify what is preventing Windows support. Look into cross platform differences in SSH tunneling and port forwarding. Consider adding platform specific handling using Python's `platform` module or conditional imports.
