working with R graphics remotely
You need to forward the X11 window to your local machine, which would need to be running an X server. We do this using Exceed and PUTTY settings, but your sysadmins will be able to help you: it is not a question about R per se.

Hi netters, Now I'm connecting from my local windows machine to a remote linux machine and launch R out there using SSH. When I tried to create grahics, like using plot or heatmap, I cannot see the output. Maybe a new R window displaying the graphics has popped out in the remote machine? Or I need to change some settings for the graphics to display? I don't know. I googled it and tried dev.copy but it didn't work. Can anyone help me here? I need to be able to see the output graphics and save it to a file (like jpeg) Thanks a lot!
