Don't bother putting your webserver on a non-standard port. You can create a tunnel with SSH from any port on the remote machine to any port on any host on your network. My MythTV box doesn't have a direct connection to the Internet; it sits behind another Linux box that serves as a router (among other things). When I'm out and about, I can access MythWeb with something like this: ssh -CL 80:192.168.100.14:80 alfter.us -C enables compression, while -L 80:192.168.100.14:80 redirects local port 80 to port 80 on 192.168.100.14 (the MythTV box) on the remote network. After that, just aim Mozilla at http://localhost/mythweb/ and you're in. (Note: OpenSSH on Linux will only redirect privileged ports (such as port 80) for root. My desktop systems mostly run Windows; OpenSSH on Cygwin doesn't have this restriction.) _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
