Displays the local TCP/IP ports which have been forwarded. You can add, edit, and delete local tunnels from this tab. Tunnels can be added even while the connection is open. However, they are opened only after you disconnect from the server and reconnect. But they cannot be edited or deleted while the connection is open.
Local Tunneling
| Button | Function |
| Add | Define a new TCP/IP or FTP connection to be secured. Opens a dialog box for choosing the source port, destination host, port and protocol parameters. New tunnels will be opened the next time you connect to the host. |
| Edit | Edit a previously defined tunnel. Opens a dialog box for choosing the source port, destination host, port and protocol parameters. This button is disabled when connected to the host. |
| Remove | Delete the currently selected tunnel. This will only take effect after you click the OK button. To keep the tunnel, click Cancel. The button is disabled when connected to the host. |
Both Add and Edit open the following dialog box asking for information about the tunnel:
| Tunnel Parameter | description |
| Source Port | Enter the port on which your own workstation, i.e. the machine you are making the connection from, is listening for a connection. |
| Destination Host | Enter the DNS name or the IP address where the tunnel directs the connection from your own workstation. This address is relative to the host you are connecting to, which means that entering a host such as 127.0.0.1 or localhost refers to the machine to which the SSH connection is made and not the machine from which you are initiating the tunnel. |
| Destination Port | Enter the port on the remote machine to which the connection is forwarded. |
| Type | Select whether the tunnel is a TCP tunnel or an FTP tunnel. F-Secure SSH Client 5.0 supports both active and passive FTP forwarding. |
| Application to start | If you want a certain application to start every time you open a certain tunnel, enter the name of the application here. You can browse for the application by clicking the Browse button. |
