I think he is refering the -L option of ssh that specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side. I do this on a test web server all the time: -L8080:localhost:8080 If I enter the url localhost:8080 in the browser it is forwarded on to the remote via the ssh tunnel.
