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
