Manual on how to create a ssh-tunnel to kph infrastructure.
For this you will need an KPH-Account and access via SSH has to be activated by us.
If you already have an KPH-Account, write an E-Mail with your KPH username to kph-it@uni-mainz.de and ask to be enabled for SSH. Please attach your public SSH-key to the E-Mail.
After we enabled your account, you can create a ssh-tunnel with Linux (batch, etc.) or Windows 10 (cmd, etc.) as follows:
ssh -N -L <local-port>:<kph-pcname>:<kph-port> proxy@gate6.kph.uni-mainz.de
- <kph-pcname> = Name of your computer in the institute. e.g. informatik.kph.uni-mainz.de
- <kph-port> = Port number of your computer within the KPH. e.g. RDP 3389
- <local-port> = any port number > 1000. You access this locally. e.g. 12345
Now you can establish a connection on your local computer to the KPH computer using the <local-port>. e.g. by putting localhost:12345 as RDP-Client destination.
Simply terminate the tunnel at the end of the session.
Older versions of windows:
Please use putty version >=0.75.
Alternatively for older versions of windows your can use the program PuTTY. Please follow the instructions for Generating a SSH key with PuTTY.
