I using ttpro extention, and i'm now using the commandline:
/ssh-L10901:remotehost:10901 remotehost
I get the connection and the forwarding.
Then I try to use the tunnel to connect to vncserver with:
vncviewer localhost:10901
I get an error that i didn't get from the other ssh program i used, it goes:
A program on the local maschine attempted to connect to a forwarded port.
The forwarding request was denied by the server. The connection has been
closed.
I only get the error when using the -localhost option on the vncserver. Else
it works as before.
vncviewer from a unix still works...
could it be that the vncviewer running on a windows machine connecting to a
local port is redirected to 127.0.0.1 and not the alias localhost?
ping on unix:
$ ping localhost
64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): incp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=50 usec
ping on windows
ping localhost
Pinging HOSTNAME [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
It seems it redirect localhost to hostname, how do i change that on windows
isn't there a hosts file somewere :-).
I'm aware that under /WINNT/System32/drivers/etc/hosts my hosts file look
like this:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost

What is the exact command used to "start the secure shell with port
forwarding"?
