port forwarding with ssh

lothario · 06-19-2010, 08:36 PM

I would like to ssh into server 192.168.6.12 and forward its port 47547 to 192.168.3.12 port 80 like:
192.168.6.12:47547 => 192.168.3.12:80

So when I am at the 192.168.6.100 desktop and put the URL:
http://192.168.6.12:47547
in the web browser, it is actually routed to:
http://192.168.3.12

How can you do this?

Because after you exit the ssh session then this port forwarding ends.
That temporary forwarding is exactly what I need.

With SSH you'll have to have a username, SSH, and allow SSH tunneling (not enabled on most default OpenSSH installs) on 192.168.3.12, but I bet you knew that anyway. This should work:

ssh -f user@192.168.6.12 -L 47547:192.168.6.12:80 -N
