If ssh is working across the vpn connection, then the port forwarding should work. Putty is o.k. for this. I have made that work. I generally prefer the cli ssh client available through the cygwin distribution. For my way of thinking it is easier to remember the setup because the syntax is identical to other implementations; e.g. linux. Putty has so many configuration tabs to go through to set this up that it can be confusing. --- On Thu, 10/9/08, Stephen Reese <[email protected]> wrote: From: Stephen Reese <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Tunnel Nessus client over ssh To: [email protected], [email protected] Date: Thursday, October 9, 2008, 4:39 PM > Are you doing ssh like this: > > ssh -Nf <remote_host> -L1241:localhost:1241 > > Then point your Nessus client at localhost 1241.

I do it all the time. I was trying to connect via Microsoft XP box with a Cisco VPN client. Then using Putty to ssh to the server running the Nessus daemon. I can ssh without a problem but my port forwarding must be off because I have yet to be able to make a connection. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
