Forward a port using Windows Putty Tunnel.

• What is port forwarding?
  • SSH intercepts the port on the virtual host you logged into and transfers the data to a different port on local machine
  • It is also called Tunneling.  Works great for NAT and non-public virtual machines
  • For example   –>   apache http 80  —> localhoast:8888

Instructions.

• • • In configuration – go to Tunnels
    • Put in 80 in the Source port ( port on the virtual machine )
    • Destination – localhost:8888

  

  • • Then hit the Add button

  

  • Important:   Go back to the Session and save it.
  • Login into the virtual host like you always do.
  • Open a browsers and go to URL:   http://localhost:8888
