I suspect that because you're using the non-standard ssh port that you will need to use the "-L" option and possibly the "-g" option if the remote host is also not listening on the standard ssh port #. In addition, running the command with the "-v" option might yield some useful output. *-L **port:host:hostport*Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side. This works by allocating a socket to listen to *port* on the local side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is made to *host* port *hostport* from the remote machine. Port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file. Only root can forward privileged ports. IPv6 addresses can be specified with an alternative syntax: *port/host/hostpor* eg. ssh -vg -L 2022:localhost:2222 user@remotepc HTH! _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
