The concept is like this: box1 ------------> box2 .......> network2 (SSH) (SSH) The tunnel then makes a port on box1 (Web/HTTP port for example) act as if it was another host located on network2 (or reachable therefrom). For example: box1 -------------> box2 --------> box3 (SSH) (SSH) (HTTP) ############### ----------> (HTTP) Note that if you are tunnelling this way, then data from box2 to box3 is NOT encrypted. Also note that you then would (on box1) use this url: http://127.0.0.1/ --or-- http://box1/ ...instead of this one... http://box3/ Note also, that the SSH session used to create the tunnel may have a shell or may not. I know Teraterm/SSH allows you to port forward, and only does it with a shell. OpenSSH and other UNIX variants allow you to run ssh in the "background" with port forwarding and no SSH shell. One other thing to be aware of - what you want is almost certainly called "local port forwarding" and not "remote port forwarding." Just to be aware. I thought there was a portforwarder for PuTTY at the DOS command line.... Me, I use (when I use Telnet/SSH under Windows, that is) Teraterm/SSH. It gives you top-notch telnet, ssh, AND port-forwarding. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
