Standard Port Forwarding

Use local port forwarding when the client application is running on the same system as the SSH client. Use remote port forwarding if the client application is running on remotely. Local and remote port forwarding are specified using the -"L" and -"R" options.

From an OpenVMS system to another OpenVMS system
- Local port forwarding
  On system VMSHOST1, enter the following command:
  $ SSH -"L" 2001:localhost:23 VMSHOST2
  From another window on VMSHOST1, enter the following command:
  $ TELNET localhost 2001
  Result: The login prompt is displayed for VMSHOST2.
- Remote port forwarding
  On system VMSHOST1, enter the following command:
  $ SSH -"R" 2001:localhost:23 VMSHOST2
  On system VMSHOST2, enter the following command:
  $ TELNET localhost 2001
  Result: The login prompt is displayed for VMSHOST1.
From an SSH for OpenVMS client to a non SSH for OpenVMS server
- Local port forwarding
  On system VMSHOST1, enter the following command:
  $ SSH -"L" 2001:localhost:23 NONVMSHOST
  From another window on VMSHOST1, enter the following command:
  $ TELNET localhost 2001
  Result: The login prompt is displayed for NONVMSHOST.
- Remote port forwarding
  On system VMSHOST1, enter the following command:
  $ SSH -"R" 2001:localhost:23 NONVMSHOST
  On the system NONVMSHOST, enter the following command:
  # TELNET localhost 2001
  Result: The login prompt is displayed for VMSHOST1.
From a non SSH for OpenVMS client to an SSH for OpenVMS server
- Local port forwarding
  On system NONVMSHOST, enter the following commands:
  # SSH -L 2001:localhost:23 VMSHOST1
  # TELNET localhost 2001
  Result: The login prompt is displayed for VMSHOST1.
- Remote port forwarding
  On system NONVMSHOST, enter the following command:
  # SSH -R 2001:localhost:23 VMSHOST1
  On system VMSHOST1, enter the following command:
  $ TELNET localhost 2001
  Result: The login prompt is displayed for VMSHOST1.
