ssh tunneling to a terminal services
Hello,
I've been trying to ssh tunnel to connect to a machine via terminal services without success.
This is my setup,
From home i'm able to ssh tunnel to a machine at my work network and forward port 80 to my machine at home with no problem. But now i need to do this for terminal services.
I use cygwin to ssh to a linux server in my network then when i try to forward port 3389 to the terminal service machine and it fails.
on the Linux server i use the following command ssh -L 3389:localhost:3389 user@linuxserver
Another thing is also that i would have to somehow use a gui so that i can launch the terminal services screen so i've compiled cygwin with xfree86.
Basically i just want to get some suggestions on what would be the correct path for me to do this.
thx
G.

All you need to do is to enable X forward at both client and server for your secure
shell:
have a look at the following pages about how:

That is what we needed, a Unix Master! :)

X tunneling also works between *nix and secure shell client for Windows,
(please remember to enable X11 tunneling in your windows ssh client).
If you setup X tunneling properly, the ssh can automatically setup the DISPLAY
value for you. and you can run you GUI app (including your terminal services,
inside the ssh connetion).

Yes, I think Greg(yuzh) is on to an alternative to markos suggestion here. Instead of going through the hassle of setting up RDP forwarding via the linux box, be sure to install rdesktop on the linux machine, start XWin (at home), ssh -X (to work/linux), rdesktop terminal server....:-)
Slightly cumbersome any way you turn it:-).
