That's not difficult: 1.) Establish a ssh connecton from the client formwaarding to the dbhost (port is the port number on the local host being forwarded): ssh -L port:dbhost:5432 dbhost or (as I regularly do) ssh -2 -n -N -L port:dbhost:5432 dbhost You'll probably have to set up some identities to make this work conveniently. 2.) Then you can connect to the remote database by using db = DriverManager.getConnection ( "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:"+port+"/"+dbname, user, pass ); Where post is the local port and dbname is the (remove) database name.
