ssh port forwarding

[M.Lightning]

I want to tunnel my vnc and other things through ssh. How do I make ssh listen to certain ports on my server so I can connect remotely through ssh?

What I did was lock down the file wall on my linux box. Installed SSH and VNC.

I set VNC to listen on Port 5980

I was using PuTTY, so it's probably a little different then if you are SSHing from a terminal.

source port set to 5900

destination set to 127.0.0.1:5980

connect with a VNC viewer to 127.0.0.1

Edit the ssh server config to change what ports it listens on. Use PUTTY settings or use -L on the command line to set tunneling settings on the fly.

I am using Linux. My question is what does the settings for the server have to be and what are the setting for the client?

There shouldn't have be any settings changed. All you are asking for is for certain apps to run through your SSH. Then you have to tell your apps to listen on a specific port. For example:

-ssh -D 5900 -P 80 [yoursshserver]
