man page is your bestfriend :-> perhaps you are confuse with the ssh
parameters... here is an example to create a tunnel for pop3 (port 110) or
any tcp ports
ssh -2 -N -f -L 12345:localhost:110 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-2
forces ssh to use version 2 of the protocol
-N
indicates no command, or tunnel only
-f
forces ssh to run in the background
-L
indicates local tunnel in localport:remotehost:remoteport
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
the remote ssh server
-L 12345:localhost:110 means that at your side where you execute the ssh
client, it will listen at 127.0.0.1:12345... ssh will try to connect at
remoteSSHserver.example.com, tunnel and redirect packets to 127.0.0.1:110..
with this, you must run your pop3 server that will only bind to localhost ip
address.. the advantage of this is that, hackers and others cant see your
open tcp port 110 to them.
telnet localhost 12345 to test the ssh tunneling.
