How can I connect to a SSH tunnel using PUTTY or another client, with the information available through SSH command?

I am trying to establish a connection in SSH, to a remotehost...

I am having the following information from my company(example, not real data)...

ssh -p 1234 -L 4321:126.4.12.3:4423 user3@12.42.123.323 -N

They asked me to connect using Linux command, in their environment...

I am trying to connect with the details through my PUTTY terminal from my personal computer...

Which data to give in which place for PUTTY connection?

Thanks,

Mani

Instead of using putty as front end, use Plink in command line :

plink.exe -P 1234 -L 4321 126.4.12.3:4423 user3@12.42.123.323 -N

See http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and to download it : http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/plink.exe

plink, does it work on windows??? Nothing happens when I double click on the exe... – Mannii88 – 2012-06-09T18:56:20.587

As you can see, it's a *.exe file, so yes, it's for windows. Download the executable, open a windows terminal cmd, type chdir <PATH/TO/EXE/DIR> and my command line. – Gilles Quenot – 2012-06-09T18:59:03.723

Use -P instead. See doc : http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.62/htmldoc/Chapter7.html#plink Thanks to upvote and accept response if it's useful for you ;)
