Windows 10 SSH "Cannot listen to port 3389"

-1

I have Cygwin installed on a Windows 10 machine.

I am trying to use Remote Desktop from that machine, tunneled through SSH, to connect to a Windows 10 machine on a network at work which also has Linux machines.

I can SSH into my Linux box at work with port forwarding as follows:

ssh -l my_name external_static_ip_address -p linux_port_listen -L 3389:192.168.0.203:3389

So, SSH works fine and hostname shows the Linux box. However, I get this message:

bind: Operation not permitted. Channel_setup_fwd_listner_tcpip: cannot listend on port: 3389. Could not request local forwarding.

Now, the exact same command works from Cygwin running on a Vista machine.

I tried disabling the firewall on my Windows 10 machine, but this did not help.

Any suggestions?

2I have already improved the grammar and formatting (this should show up soon), but please can you edit your question to be a bit clearer? Thanks. – sampablokuper – 2018-03-13T22:46:07.063

Does the Windows 10 machine allow RDP connections (3389 is the port for RDP listener)? You can check via Start -> "Allow remote access to your computer" (type it in the search bar). – cdavid – 2018-03-14T00:22:37.987
