Hy all, i am just trying to tunnel a mysql client connection via ssh. i am behind a firewall that doesn't let mysql connections through to the outer world.
But i can do ssh to the host i want connect to. Tunneling http port 80 with the command ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 80000:localhost:80 gives me access to the http port of the remote machine via port 80000 on my local machine. so fra , so good. Then doing # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 80000:localhost:3306 and connecting to port 80000 on my machine with telnet gives me something like Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. , 3.23.47-log$jhbjhb%kj which i suppose is a prompt from the remote mysql service but then trying to connect to that port with the mysql client i get: # mysql -u username -p -h my.local.hostname -P 80000 Enter password: ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'my.local.hostname' (111) could it be that the mysql client does some extra checks, so maybe the server sends his real hostname or ip address in binary form (thats the signs at the end of the telnet prompt?) and the client realizes that he is not connected to that machine, but to another and breaks up? can i, if this is so, disable that check? I saw some information which said that forwarding mysql connections is possible, but cannot get this to work properly.
