Hi-

I worked on getting rdp to work with putty and remmina a while ago. I got side tracked because of holidays and a cold.

I use windows host and linux guest with bridged adapter in virtualbox.

" How do I establish a permanent RDP tunnel through ssh on the linux box? "

At the following link is the poster oneiroi right?

ssh -L 3389:<ip of windows server>:3389 <ip of ssh server> -l <ssh user> -N

Assuming 3389 is the port your RDP is running on AND the ssh server has access to said port, you can then connect to 127.0.0.1:3389 as if it were the remote server.

https://serverfault.com/questions/20...ng-a-linux-box

I can run this example in cygwin with putty and remmina. Or I can run it from command-line like in the example and connect from remmina.

Just not very confident that the rdp session running through ssh tunnel. I'm not very good at networking.

Please let me know if this is a good example of rdp over ssh tunnel and|or if there is a good way to verify that is actually going on. BTW I had to use 127.0.0.2:3389 with remmina but I guess that is okay.

thx. for rendering any assistance!

This is a good explanation: https://www.saotn.org/tunnel-rdp-through-ssh/

Why don't you just remote desktop into the linux box directly?

mstsc.exe /v:<ip of linux box>

If you want to create a tunnel you first need to check you are not running the "terminal services server" on windows because it would block 3389.

Then do

ssh -L 3389:localhost:3389 <ip of ssh server> -l <ssh user> -f4gN
mstsc.exe /v:localhost

You can use alternative port if you have local terminal services running:

ssh -L 13389:localhost:3389 <ip of ssh server> -l <ssh user> -f4gN
mstsc.exe /v:localhost:13389

Hi-

THX. for the cool posts AM and grahamatlq!

AM - According to the link you gave me, I picked the instructions up from somewhere else. So unwittingly I was following nested tutorials with the same technique at different forums.

I can check out grahamatlq technique on a later day. It is interesting and worth a look. Nowhere in my travels did I see that approach.

Back to nursing my cold. Have a very cool weekend.

thx. -
