Remote Port Forwarding Properties Dialog

From SecureCRT

A data path or circuit between two computers over a phone line, network cable, or other means.

The concept of connecting a logical port on a local machine to a port on a remote machine over a secure (encrypted) channel. All requests for services sent to the local port are then forwarded across the secure channel to the corresponding port on the remote machine.


The Remote Port Forwarding Properties dialog can be accessed by clicking on either the Add... or Edit... button on the Connection/Port Forwarding/Remote/X11 category of the Session Options dialog.
