hts - httptunnel server
Contents
Description
This manual page briefly documents the hts command.
hts listens for incoming httptunnel connections at PORT (default port is 8888), and optionally binds to
ip address HOST. When a connection is made, I/O is redirected to the destination specified by the
--device, --forward-port or --stdin-stdout switch.
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
