I was able to ssh using the 2222 port idea.

When I tried the telnet command, I got this:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Trying 10.8.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 10.8.0.1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

my server process must not be started like I expect...

Thanks!

Eric

moin moin Eric,


Hi all,
I am trying to connect a Crashplan Desktop to a headless Crashplan engine.
Following their instructions, I setup an SSH tunnel by:

ssh -L 4200:localhost:4243 eric@e-server.loc

When I start my Crashplan Desktop, which has been configured to use the
tunnel, I get these error messages in the SSH window:

open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed

I've searched quite a bit. I've added these lines to my sshd_config file:

AllowTcpForwarding yes
PermitTunnel yes

but it does not seem to make a difference. Any ideas?

Did you restart the SSH daemon?

ssh -L 2222:localhost:22 eric@e-server.loc

Does that work? Can you then ssh to port 2222 on your desktop?

ssh -p 2222 localhost

On e-server, can you telnet to port 4243?

telnet localhost 4243

ciao,

der.hans
