SSH Tunnel Problem Mac to PC

Asked by thokkane in Computer Servers, Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger)

Tags: , , ,

I am trying to establish SSH tunneling for a vnc connection. I have set up a SSH server on my windows xp pro pc. I can ssh and connect to it from my mac (Tiger 10.4.10), however i cant get the tunneling working. The vnc server is listening for connections on port 5901 on the same pc as the SSH server is on. If i open port 5901 on my router i can connect straight to the pc from my mac, however the goal is to get tunneling working. It seems the binding isn't working properly. The ssh command i'm trying to use to get tunneling to work is

ssh -N -L 5900:192.168.0.101:5901 username@pc.host.ip

the following connects to the SSH server and requests for a password which i input correctly and log in. The connection stays open with the -N parameter. This doesn't however, let me connect with my mac VNC client (Chicken of the VNC) to the VNC server on the pc. The mac VNC viewer setting seem to be correct too. Host: pc.host.ip. Display: 0.

As mentioned before it works if i open up port 5901 on my router and then connect with the VNC viewer. The SSH port 22 has been forwarded properly to the pc. Also i have tried making the tunnel and while the tunnel being opened i opened the VNC port 5901 on the router and after opening the port the vnc viewer displays the image. Most likely the problem is in the command or some kind of port binding problem. Start Free Trial
