    Hi all,

    Goal: connect to a remote pop3 server over an encrypted link.

    I'm trying to setup port forwarding but keep receiving a usage
    message instead of success.  Below is the excerpted man page rule
    I'm trying to use:

    usage: ssh -L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport]

    Here's what I'm trying:

    sudo ssh -L lo.cal.ip.adx:11110:rem.ote.ip.adx:110


ssh requires a login so you still need to login as a user to a server
(not necessarily the machine being forwarded to). If you want the local
ip side to accept connections from other computers you'll also need to
add "-g"

# sudo ssh -L lo.cal.ip.adx:11110:rem.ote.ip.adx:110 user@server

Thanks for the response Richard.

I have my public rsa key on the remote side and can establish a regular ssh connections without any intervention.  My pop ap. is already preloaded with its necessary credentials, too.
