Victor: You need to save the settings... This is a bit NON intuitive in putty... The way I do (using putty 5.3) it is as follows:
1) Under seesion I enter the Host name, I the enter the name of the seesion and press save... The new session name apears in the list... --- or --- 1) I click on the seesion I want ot modify and press load... 2) I configure/change all of the features (inlcuding port forwarding)... 3) I go back to the session screen and save the seesion... 4) Finaly I can start the session, by pressing the OPEN button... BTW you can start putty from the command line with the command: putty -load "session name", Which I have as a short-cut in my remote connections... As to weither you should use putty, or a command-line... IHO, I think the tight-vnc people got it right, namely the additional vnc parameter "-via [<user>@]host"... this tells vnc to start the ssh tunnel itself. As second best I find putty, since I can easily setup multiple tunnels using it's GUI, and then start them all together. In this form I have a "Host_XXX Connect" shortcut, which I start before I work with/on a host and shutdown afterwards... Hope that helps...
