SSH Tunnel from linux to linux 1

[kapplersvictory]

I have always been tunneling from Windows XP and 2000 to my linux server using putty.

How do I establish a ssh connection tunneling port 10000 from another linux PC?


Thank you

to tunnel your port 10000 to the linux server's one

ssh -L10000:your_server_dns_name:10000 your_server_dns_name

example, to connect to linux.yourdomain.com

ssh -L10000:linux.yourdomain.com:10000

You may sometimes need to do the opposite and somehow hi-jack a remote server's port for whatever reason.

For example, if the remote server's web server is not working anymore and you have another one up you can run the following

ssh -R80:your_client_machine_dns:80 your_remote_machine_dns

example, if you have a server at linux.yourdomain.com and a laptop with a web server at laptop.yourdomain.com, you can run

ssh -R80:laptop.yourdomain.com:80 linux.yourdomain.com

This way you will redirect visitors from the linux web server onto your laptop's web server without them knowing it. Good for emergencies.
