Hello everybody!

I am trying to connect to a supercomputer via ssh tunneling (Linux) using my Macbook (High Sierra). The connection occurs successfully. And I can do what I want and at the end of work I can save the state file. However, when I try to load it it doesn’t work. and paraview in client freezes, and paraview in server side writes:  
Connecting to client (reverse connection requested)…  
Connection URL: csrc://_._._._:11111  
Client connected.

```

I have understood that state files MUST be on a SERVER, not on a local machine!!!

Welcome to the community, Evgenii!

As a guess, you need to manually connect to your server, THEN load the state file.

With one edge case, state files ALWAYS reside on the client side. A state file is basically a set of commands, just like when you manually work with the GUI. These commands originate on the client side.
