PortForward

A simple app to open a Port Forward session if you have access to a Linux gateway and want to access an internal network port.  This is the equivalent of using ssh -L 127.0.0.1:<your_local_port>:<some_internal_host>:<internal_port> your_username@your_linux_gateway.com.   This will open a socket that is available for use by the Android Operating system.  The added functionality here is the ability to save and restart sessions without having to use a terminal emulator.

an Example of how to Use:



Local Port: 9999  (this is the port on your android device)

Gateway Host:  some_linux_gateway.com (linux machine with internet interface)

Username: your username for gateway.

Password: your password for the above gateway

next->

Remote Host Name:  name of the remote host you want to forward to.

Port Number:  number of port you which to connect to.  ex. 80 for http.
