[TriLUG] SSH question ( 14th )

[Brian McCullough via TriLUG]

To the Oracle:


I am trying to work out an SSH Port Forwarding issue.


I have three machines, A, B and C.


A is my local machine
B is a machine that I can reach via a VPN
C is a machine that B can reach but, due to firewall rules, I can not


I am trying to look at a web site on C

I have tried both:

1: 
ssh -L 8080:C:80 me at B
http://B:8080


and

2: 
ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 me at B
http://B:8080


and, in both cases, I get told that that URL refuses to connect.  If I
log in to B and do "telnet C 80" I get the "Connected to C, escape char
is" message, but nothing after that, in both cases.

Does it mean that the firewall rules allowing access from B to C are
still not open, or that I have messed up the SSH Port Forward?  ( or
both? )



Thank you,
Brian
