Secure Shell or SSH is a secure means of controlling a remote machine.

Closing a Hung Session

ssh -D 6969 wadsworth@acidburn.vtluug.org

Tunnel single port

This opens a tunnel to milton.vtluug.org which is redirected through acidburn.

ssh -L 6969:milton.vtluug.org:22 wadsworth@acidburn.vtluug.org
