Setup SSH to *ALSO*...

Post #386,155 by folkert 2/4/14 11:54:24 PM Reply	Setup SSH to ALSO... Listen on a common alternative HTTP/S port (8080 or 8443 or some such) Then do forwarding from that. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

System B: Hosted server, VPS with root shell access. System C: Hosted mailserver, on a non-standard port. What do I set up on system A and what on system B so that I can run a mail client on A picking up mail from C? -- Drew

You should use a second "Port" statement, not removing the other ones. `Port 8443` And then try without leaving THAT ssh session. Open a NEW terminal `ssh -p8443 -lyouruser yourhost.yourvps.com` Ensure it is good. Fix if needed. Here is a config example for your Desktop (System A.) This config setups the redirects pointing at your hosted mail server (System C) through you VPS server (system B) greg@omg:~ [0] $ cat ~/.ssh/config Host redirects Hostname yourhost.yourvps.com Port 8443 #Outgoing mail delivery sstmp/esmtps LocalForward 1465 hosted.mailserver.com:465 #Inbound mail pickup (IMAPS) LocalForward 1993 hosted.mailserver.com:993 # Inbound imap, not needed is using imaps LocalForward 1143 hosted.mailserver.com:143 Then just point your mail client at "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 with the proper port for the proper service and it is done. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
