Security\SSH\Host Tunneling
Port forwarding allows you to forward TCP/IP traffic through an SSH tunnel. This allows you to use the Reflection Secure Shell Client to secure data that would otherwise be sent over an unsecured TCP/IP channel. These settings are available in the Tunneling section of the Secure Shell Settings dialog box.
| Item Name | UI Description |
|---|---|
| Add local forwarding tunnel button | Opens the Local Port Forwarding dialog box, from which you can configure ports for sending data. Outgoing data sent to the specified local port is forwarded through the secure tunnel to the specified remote host and port. |
| Add remote forwarding tunnel button | Opens the Remote Forwarding dialog box, from which you can configure remote port forwarding. Incoming data sent from the specified remote port is forwarded through the secure tunnel to the specified local computer and port. |
| Allow gateway ports | Enables gateway ports. Remote hosts are allowed to connect to local forwarded ports. By default, Reflection Secure Shell binds local port forwardings to the loopback address (this is equivalent to using "localhost"). This prevents other remote hosts from connecting to forwarded ports. Allow gateway ports can be used to specify that Reflection Secure Shell should bind local port forwardings to the local ethernet address (such as an IP address, a URL, or a DNS name), thus allowing remote hosts to connect to forwarded ports. |
| Delete local forwarding tunnel button | Removes configurations of ports for local port forwarding. |
| Delete remote forwarding tunnel button | Removes configurations for remote port forwarding. |
| Edit local forwarding tunnel button | Opens the Local Port Forwarding dialog box, from which you can change ports for sending data. |
| Edit remote forwarding tunnel button | Opens the Remote Forwarding dialog box, from which you can modify configurations for remote port forwarding. |
| Tunnel X11 connections button | Specifies that all data sent from a remote X11 port is automatically forwarded through the secure tunnel to the correct local port. |
