A system and method for transferring a compressed image from a local computer system to a remote computer system, and inducing image decompression and display at the remote computer system. A user of the local computer system invokes a software application on the local computer system. The application compresses an image, and calls an X extension function to induce transfer of a data stream containing the compressed image to a remote X Server executing on a remote computer system. The remote X Server receives the data stream, and invokes an executable code corresponding to the X extension function in response to receiving the data stream. The executable code controls the decompression of the compressed image, and calls a standard X internal PutImage operation to display the decompressed image on a display associated with the remote computer system.
