You should upgrade to 1.2.27 first.
The man page describes how to setup port forwarding.
...arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure
channel.
if this is what you are looking for, the following example might help:
suppose you have a server machine w/ ip address (or name) A running
a pop server on port 110 and a client machine w/ ip address (or name)
B w/ a pop client.
a user using the client machine would type:
ssh -L 10110:127.0.0.1:110 A
to connect to the server machine via ssh and set up a local port-
forwarding. this sets things up so that if a user connects to port
10110 of the client machine, the connection is forwarded over
the secure channel to port 110 of the server machine.
notes:
from the perspective of the server machine.
b) if the protocol you would like to forward typically uses more than
one channel (e.g. ftp), you may be out of luck (see faq for more
explanation).
c) the user will obviously need an account on the server machine.
