htc - httptunnel client
Contents
Description
This manual page briefly documents the htc command.
htc sets up a httptunnel connection to PORT at HOST (default port is 8888). When a connection is made,
I/O is redirected from the source specified by the --device, --forward-port or --stdin-stdout switch to
the tunnel.
Examples
Start httptunnel server
hts-Flocalhost:228888 Aat host REMOTE, set up httptunnel server to listen on port 8888 and
forward to localhost:22
Start httptunnel client
htc-F2222-PPROXY_ADDRESS:8000REMOTE_IP:8888 At host LOCAL, set up httptunnel client to
forward localhost:2222 to REMOTE_IP:8888 via a local proxy at PROXY_ADDRESS:8000
Or, if using a buffering HTTP proxy
htc-F2222-PPROXY_ADDRESS:8000-B48KREMOTE_IP:8888
Now you can connect through the tunnel on host LOCAL
sshssh://localhost:2222Name
