The putty ssh client is an awesome tool. I also love the fact that
putty has a Linux, Windows and Mac client, so I can use it from most any

forwarded applications running, without having to kill everything then
reconnect. Can openSSH add a port forward to a live connection?
Yes. You have to issue the "escape character" which, unless you've changed it,
is ~ (preceded by a newline) and then "C". This will give you a command-line
at which you can type -L or -K commands. This is all documented in the ssh man
page.
That's it!
Thanks Doran, Jake and Nicholas.
And sure enough it is in the SSH under "Escape Characters", but not
under the "TCP Forwarding" section I had read. I think they should make
reference to this powerful ability in the "TCP Forwarding" section,
don't you?
Thanks,
Kenneth
