FAQ: SSH Tunneling in PuTTY
Author: Paul McCullough/ William Goldberg*

We use SSH tunneling to run application admin utilities against 3tera cloud server appliances.

The following assumes the SSH sessions have been configured as discussed in FAQ: 3tera - Enable SSH Terminal Sessions into Server Appliances‎.

Using SSH Tunnels for HTTP Access

Much the same as above but here we want to use a browser.

Set up your putty ssh as you might normally (see 3tera - Enable SSH Terminal Sessions into Server Appliances‎)
- Here is an example that points to an applogic tomcat instance

Enterprise Addressing System > PuTTY - SSH Tunnel > Putty_tunnel.JPG

Given the above tunnel definition, point you browser to
- http://localhost:81/arbitrary_path

WARNING
Firefox does some sort of caching here.
To get this work work proerply, start the browser, then start ssh.
Otherwise external sites won't be rendered
If your browser stops rendering external sites:

close ssh with tunnel
close browser (clearing cache is not enough)
start browser
start ssh with tunnel
