The easiest is to ssh to the remote machine, login, and just execute
xftree. If X11 forwarding is not enabled (rare case), then there is 
need to set the environment variable DISPLAY on the remote host and to
authorize the remote host to open windows on the local box by means of
the program "xhost" (see man xhost). A more fancy way is to have ssh
directly execute a script on the remote host. Below you will find a
script to execute any program with up to 9 parameters on the remote
machine and displayed at the local machine called "huitzi". It works
like a charm with ssh configured to provide access without password
challenge.

the script:
#!/bin/sh

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/edscott/bin
export PATH
DISPLAY="huitzi"
DISPLAY="$DISPLAY:0.0"
export DISPLAY
`$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9`
