My goal is to use an ssh tunnel for Apple Remote Desktop connections to a client.
With a command like
Code:
ssh -l user hostname -L 13283:hostname:3283
I can redirect traffic from localhost's port 13283 to hostname's port 3283, where the Apple Remote Desktop client listens. This traffic is encrypted via the ssh mechanism and only requires the ssh port 22 to be open on the firewall protecting hostname.
The problem I have is that I can't make an ARD connection to localhost at port 13283. In other words, when I put "localhost:13283" into the Address field of the "Add by Address" of the Apple Remote Desktop server, the response is "Verify failed."
This makes me wonder, whether I can even do this. Perhaps it isn't as easy as it is in a browser, where one merely has to append the colon and the port number to a host name, in order to connecto to the server at that host on that port.
Any comments would be appreciated.
