Description

I have a webcam program in another computer, I have to write a c# GUI program to switch it on.
since the webcam program also has GUI, when I use ssh to login and open it I must be ForwardX11Trusted
like:

ssh -Y myName@ip

but I don't find any counterpart in ssh.net
How do I send the -Y parameter to SshClient?

Research direction

Start with SshClient and investigate how SSH.NET handles X11 forwarding, specifically whether it exposes an option corresponding to OpenSSH's -Y trusted forwarding. Define the expected API behavior and verify it with focused tests; the issue is done when applications can request trusted X11 forwarding through SSH.NET.
