Hello,
I'm attempting to set up an ssh tunnel through a ssh shell using putty, in order to use mushclient to connect to a mud.
putty -L 4000:arandommud:9999 -ssh sshshell.com -l username -pw password
This -should- set up a tunnel whereby if I open mushclient and type in 'localhost' port 4000, I should connect.
However, it just closes the connection as suddenly as it opens it and states that the server has closed the connection. This happens with me logged into the shell, at the prompt, and also from me logged into the mud through the shell. Sometimes it will just hang till you type something and then close.
I did a netstat -a and my pc is listening on port 4000, so I should locally see it.
What am I doing wrong here?
