SSH in windows ...
 

hey guys I have learnt how to connect to my Squid Proxy by SSH ,
I used this in linux

ssh -L 8213:localhost:8213 root@200.214.211.190

then I enter my password,
then I set my browser's proxy to localhost:8213

how I can do the same thing in windows...
sorry I know that it is a windows question , and shouldnt be asked in linux forum...
but you know windows guys are not as Kind as Linux guys to help humans .. he he

There are two good programs that come to mind that do this; PuTTY and Cygwin. PuTTY is just a SSH/Telnet client for Windows. Cygwin is a program that allows you to run a number of programs designed for Unix/Linux on Windows (including SSH).

i have installed putty but I dont know how to tell it do this
ssh -L 8213:localhost:8213 root@200.214.211.190


I mean when I enter localhost:8213 in Firefox setting, I want Firefox to use that proxy...what and where should I say this to putty?

I would use a login with lesser priviledges than root myself, but it's your call.
You are allowed two Windows questions, THEN YOU'RE OUT!!! ;)

From Windows, you can use Putty to set up the ssh connection with the port forwarding you need. Putty is a free ssh client. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

Sheesh! Two posts came in during the time it took me to type mine. You guys are fast!

how to forward..can u please help me on that?
I want to forward it on localhost:8213

From the Putty GUI, one the left side under "Category", choose Connections->SSH->Tunnels. Set it up, then save your session.

[edit]
Set "Local Port" to "8123" and "Destination" to "localhost:8123" in the Putty ssh tunnel config

thanks a lot haerig , I really missed linux..

i have had ubuntu for 2 months, after two months I just installed windows on my very old hard disk...
i should say windows sucks...linux is so much easier ...
I connected to SSH with one line command , here i connected to ssh with 20 clicks .
