SSH tunnel using PuTTy

jackster · 01-25-2005, 03:00 AM

I know this falls more to the windows side, but can any one help? I did the following: Create a putty session, specify the local port as 139, specify the destination as 127.0.0.1:139, stopped file and printer sharing (to clear port 139 on windows box) and connected. The tunnel seem te be ok, but when i connect to \\myserver\myfolder it says i don't have the right permissions to do so. I blocked port 139 on my server for testing purposes. When i unblock it, it works like a bom, but that is not the point.

Any help please??

you opened a putty-connection to your loopback?! why?

Are you refering to "destination 127.0.0.1:139" ? That is so that on the box i connect to, traffic gets routed to port 139. Or am i wrong there?

Think you will have to alter your access request.
Putty listens on 127.0.0.1:139 for connections, so you will have to do \\myclient\myfolder instead of \\myserver\myfolder.
When you unblock port 139 and run \\myserver\myfolder the connection works but are direct and unencrypted, since putty isn't involved.

So try \\myclient\myfolder and you should probably succeed.
