Remote Tunneling Properties

Remote Tunneling displays the remote TCP/IP ports that have been forwarded. You can add, edit, and delete remote tunnels from this tab.

Button Function
Add Define a new TCP/IP connection to be secured. Opens a dialog box for choosing the source port, destination host, and port parameters. New tunnels can be added even while connected.
Edit Edit a previously defined tunnel. Opens a dialog box for choosing the source port, destination host, and port 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.

Click the Add or Edit button to display the Add New Remote Tunnel dialog box.

In this dialog box, you can specify the source and destination ports for the connection and the host to forward the connection to.

Tunnel Parameter Description
Source Port Enter the port on the remote machine to which the client listens for connections.
Destination Host Enter the DNS name or IP address of the host to which the connection is forwarded from the remote host when a connection to the specified port is requested. This address is relative to the host you are connecting from, which means that entering a host such as 127.0.0.1 or localhost refers to the machine from which you are making the SSH connection and not the machine to which you are connecting.
Destination Port Enter the port number on the destination host to which you want the connection to be forwarded.
