YMMV.
Obviously, you need to make sure that the port ssh is using is open
through any firewall.
None of this is really Cygwin-specific so further discussion on this l
list along this line is really off-topic though.
Hmmmm... I hope that is not true. I hope this is on topic because I think it
is an issue with installing ssh. I get the following error when I try the
command above:
No matching comp found: client zlib server none,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I tried leaving off the -o and compression flags, but this did not help. I
got the same error until I removed the -C and then it did not even give me
an error message (and still did not work).
It is off-topic because there is nothing Cygwin-specific about the process to
getting this working. So unless you can point to how this works on some
other platform and not on Cygwin, you need to find a good book, site, or
forum for ssh tunneling information. Consulting the man page is a good start
if you haven't already.
I don't know what lines you typed to get the above error but I'm guessing from
the error you typed:
ssh -f -L 5901:localhost:5900 -N -C -o Compression=yes -o CompressionLevel=9

I can't reproduce your issue. When I try it, it tells me:
ssh: connect to host openssh.com port 22: Connection timed out
