Setting up an SSH tunnel

You may create an SSH tunnel by creating a new SshTunneler instance, providing local port to listen on, parameters of SSH service and remote IP and port to tunnel data to.

Example

The following example demonstrates creating a secure tunnel for a POP3 email service.

// define local port to listen on

int localPort = 110;

// define SSH connection parameters

SshParameters params = new SshParameters("ssh.mydomain.com","sshusername","sshpassword");

// define remote port and IP of POP3 service.

String remoteIP = "pop3.mydomain.com";

int remotePort = 110;

// create tunnel

SshTunneler tunneler = new SshTunneler(localPort, params, remoteIP, remotePort);

// start listening on local port

tunneler.start();

// stop listening on local port after finished

tunneler.stop();
