SSH Port forwarding is used to forward ports between a local and a remote Linux machine using SSH protocol. It is mainly used to encrypt connections to different applications. Even if that application doesn’t support SSL encryption, SSH port forwarding can create a secure connection. You can even use port forwarding to expose a machine to the internet without an internet routable IP address, so that you can access it remotely and securely. There are many more uses of SSH port forwarding. There are mainly two types of SSH port forwarding. Local port forwarding and remote port forwarding. In this article I will show you how to do port forwarding on Linux.

My daughter and I were bantering with each other via text message this morning as we often do, and I dropped into a sort of mock "leet speak". She wasn't impressed, but it got me thinking about formulaic substitutions in language and how they represent interesting programming challenges.

If you're like me, you probably have a "sandbox" somewhere, a place where you hack on whatever projects you're working on. Over time, the sandbox will get crufty and cluttered with bits and pieces of ideas, toolchain elements, code modules you aren't using, and other stuff you don't need.

If you're a Windows user or a non-power-user of OSX, you probably use a GUI to find files. You may also find the interface limited, frustrating, or both, and have learned to excel at organizing things and remembering the exact order of your files.

Linux has come a long way since Linus Torvalds announced it in 1991. It has become the dominant operating system in the enterprise space. And, although we’ve seen improvements and tweaks in the desktop environment space, the model of a typical Linux distribution has largely remained the same over the past 25+ years. The traditional package management based model has dominated both the desktop and server space.
