Q: Putty tunnels do not work

avatar

The putty tunnels defined in any session are not created. These tunnels work if putty is used in the native RDP client. I'm attempting to connect to localhost which is then tunneled
(securely) by putty.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I have no idea, I will try to do some search when I got time and let you know.

I know this topic is very old, but I had the same question and was able to work it out. I'm using the current version (6.0.1.0).

When you configure the SSH tunnel, you just need to add the following to the "port forwarding" section.

For example:

7777:192.168.0.154:3389

Once I'm connected via SSH, I can now RDP (as I've specified 3389) to 'localhost:7777'. You can make that port whatever you want.

I hope that makes sense! :)

Is there a way to stream-line this process, perhaps with a SubConnection? Such that one click will open the SSH tunnel, and then open the RDP session thru that tunnel?

Hi,
Have you tried to configure a Putty connection and link it in the VPN section?

That worked. I'd like to suggest that this topic be written up in the documentation/faq.

Thanks,

Thank you. We are aware that we need to improve our online help and this is planned. We have a lot of undocumented feature that we need to details.
