portForward Description

Port forward is a java application which gives you the ability to open tunnels between your local computer and a ssh server. Port forward is a java application which gives you the ability to open tunnels between your local computer and a remote ssh server.Tunnels can be created both local or remote Examples: 1. Open a local tunnel to reach a remote mysql database Your application needs to connect to a remote database server (mysql for example), but the database server (remote.server.example) is not configured to expose mysql to internet directly.Port forward will open a local port (3306) and redirect the connections to remote.server.example ssh serverThe remote.server.example ssh server will connect to it's local mysql server2. Open a local tunnel to use a remove VNC desktopYou want to connect to your home computer which has a vnc server but from work, the firewall blocks vnc connections (generally on port 5901)If you have a ssh server at home, you could use it as bridge to connect to a client in your home: Your position internet your linux ssh server ->> -->> you client with vnc (192.168.0.40) you office internet >You will be now able to connect using a vncclient giving 127.0.0.1:0 as address 3. Open a remote tunnel to pilot a remote linux server non reachable through internetIn this example, you will create a remote tunnel, this will give the remote man to connect to and reach you.I used this example if I have to pilot a remote pc, but this pc has no static IP or is behind a firewallThe good solution is to activate port forward on the pc to be piloted and to connect it to a server we can access. PC 1 (to be piloted) --||||-- firewall ----- internet ----- accessible-server As you can see in this situation, if firewall does not use NAT, you have no way to reah PC 1What's New in This Release:· A button for selecting a command to execute upon connection with the server was added.· A small problem with removing items was fixed. What's New in This Release: · Auth failed bug fix
