Incoming Tunnels

Remote port forwarding (an incoming tunnel) does the opposite to local port forwarding: it forwards traffic coming to a remote port to a specified local port.

For example, if you issue the following command

$ ssh2 -R 1234:localhost:23 username@host

all traffic which comes to port 1234 on the server (host) will be forwarded to port 23 on the client (localhost).

When using SSH Tectia Client on Windows, the tunneling settings can be made under Profile Settings -> Tunneling.
