Hi Dale, Thanks for your mail. > I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. The -R argument to ssh causes > the remote sshd to forward one port back to localhost:22.

The idea would be for port 10000 on the server to redirect to port 22 (ssh) on the device I wish to reach. So I could do something like: ssh -p 10000 user@server to connect to port 22 on the device. So the device would use autossh to create such a tunnel, and shouldn't be able to open a tunnel in any other port other than 10000 with a command similar to this: ssh -nNTv -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -R 10000:localhost:22 user@server I hope I managed to express myself a little better :) Thanks again!
