well, its not a command line. You need to set up your ~/.ssh/config
(or perhaps ~/.ssh2/config), and add something like this:
host thatHost
LocalForward <theport> anotherhost:<possibly_another_port>
for example, to forward nntp from localhost to news.inficad.com when
you are ssh'd from localhost to user?.inficad.com, you'd say:
host user?.inficad.com
LocalForward 119 news.inficad.com:119
I believe this is covered in man ssh? (brings up window, does
man ssh, scrolls down a bit - Oh, look, a command line option!
Whaddaya know - one always can learn something new by reading
the man page,eh? ;-)
ssh -R port:host:hostport
I'll let you go read the man page for details...
