making a ssh tunnel from server to client

Post by systembook » Wed 02 Jul 2008 13:19

I have managed to make a test program where i use a TScSSHClient and a TScSSHChannel to forward a local port to a port on the ssh server.

but what i really want to do, is the other way around, so that when client has connected, the server can reach a port on the client machine using a forwarded port.

the idea is that the clients connect to my server, enabling the server to connect to mysql on the clients

offtopic: Isn't there any online docs on the usage of securebridge? If i select a securebridge component/setting and press F1 in Cbuilder 2007 the help system goes haywire

If I've understood you right, you should use remote port forwarding. You can find information about it in the "SSH-tunnel principles" topic of SecureBridge help.

To make Help work try to use the regHelp.exe utility.
Also you can download PDF documentation on SecureBridge by the link: http://devart.com/sbridge/securebridgepdf.zip.
