Forward Multiple Ports Over SSH
I sometimes find myself doing web app development on another machine via an SSH
connection. If I have the server running on port 3000, then I like to use
SSH's port forwarding feature so that I can access localhost:3000 on my
physical machine.
$ ssh dev@server.com -L 3000:localhost:3000
What if I have two different servers running? I'd like to port forward both of them -- that way I can access both.
SSH allows you to forward as many ports as you need. The trick is to specify
a -L for each.
$ ssh dev@server.com -L 3000:localhost:3000 -L 9009:localhost:9009
