Initiate ssh tunnel to connect to ssh?

brianmcgee · 09-07-2011, 09:06 AM

Hi,

Given the following setup:

Code:

Client            <Firewall>             Server
22 SSH |------initiate SSH Tunnel------> 22 SSH
^
+---------connect to SSH via Tunnel------12345

Is it possible that a client initiates a SSH tunnel with a server via passwordless login so that someone at the server side may connect via:

Code:

[Server]$ ssh -p 12345 user@localhost

and to be forwarded to the Client's port 22? And if that is possible, could someone please enlighten me how this is done?

Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for! With the proper keyword also the man page of ssh reveals the right parameters.
