I have some boxes behind a firewall that I need access to from the internet. I don't control the firewall, so I thought I would try to use OpenSSH port forwarding. I have placed "GatewayPorts yes" in the outside machine's sshd_config. The boxes involved both use Debian with OpenSSH 2.9p2. I connect like this (from the firewalled machine):
ssh -g -C -R 3001:firewalled_machine:22 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can now connect to 3001 on the outside machine, but the connection doesn't do anything and is quickly closed. I've tried ports besides 22 with the same results, but with ssh I get this familiar message: $ ssh -C -p 3001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host Can anyone help? -- Andrew W. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://failsure.net/ http://home.cwru.edu/~agw4/ -- Debian GNU/Linux Georgia State U.
