Hi Joe
The infinite loop was due to a bug in old versions of cadaver: I suggest you upgrade to 0.19.1.
OK, I'll give that a shot. OK, now I don't get an infinite loop, I get this instead:: dav:!> open localhost:8888 Looking up hostname... Connecting to server... connected. Could not contact server: Could not read status line: connection was closed by server.
AFAIK this simply means that the ssh process running on the remote machine couldn't connect to remote.co.za on port 8800: running
$ telnet remote.co.za 8800
from the ssh session should give the same results? (if so, is the server running, etc etc)
The server is definately running. I'm forwarding :8888 on local to :8800 on remote:: jean@local lib $ ssh -L 8888:remote.co.za:8800 remote.co.za jean@remote.co.za's password: Last login: Mon Apr 15 16:31:03 2002 from local.co.za If I telnet to 8800 when logged in on remote, I connect successfully:: [jean@remote jean]$ telnet localhost 8800 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. But when I telnet to the forwarded port 8888 when logged in on local, I disconnect immediately:: jean@local lib $ telnet localhost 8888 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. I can't telnet from local to remote (telnet remote.co.za 8800): firewalled. Which is why I want to forward the port. I strongly get the feeling that I'm just not understanding ssh port forwarding well enough .. -- Jean Jordaan Upfront Systems http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za
