Hello,

sorry if this offtopic, but there is no putty specific mailing list.
According to the documentation it is possible to create a ssh tunnel
using putty ( or plink )

I would like to tunnel a RDP connection. From a client running the RDP
it should be possible to connect to a windows server passing through a
linux machine that forwards the tunneled packets to the windows machine.

Could anyone please tell me the exact parameters for plink on the client
and ssh on the linux server ?

Thank you very much
Andreas

plink -N -L 3390:winserver:3389 user@linuxserver

This command does not start a shell on the linux server (-N), only forwards
the RDP socket.

The server does not require any special parameters.

You connect to it in RDP by connecting localhost:3390

There is so much documentation around but none is so simple and clear as
your example.
