Is there a way that I can port forward an ssh connection to another machine on my network?

I would like to ssh into my machine at home that has 22 open on my router and then be able to open another terminal and ssh to any other machine on my local network at home through my already open ssh connection.

I created an ssh script that had something to this affect:

-L 6000:IP ADDRESS OF MACHINE ON HOME NETWORK:22

If that is supposed to work then maybe I am not typing my ssh command properly. If that is so can anyone tell me how to ssh to a specific port?

Thanks for the help.

port 22 is the default, so you don't have to specify it. if you change the sshd port number, you specify it with -p, for example:

$ ssh -l user IP -p 1234

So if Im specifying that ssh command is that something I do once I am authenticated to my home network from another terminal or is that something I change in my ssh script?

From the command line, you can type in
Then, from another terminal, you can do
and your connection will automatically be forwarded to port 22 on IP ADDRESS OF MACHINE ON HOME NETWORK.

If you see an error about a host key having changed, let me know and we'll work through that.

I didn't see the error about the host key changing and everything worked well. Thank you for all of your help.
