Hi Doug,

I am having a problem with setting up port forwarding from one of our local CentOS machines to an AWS EC2 instance. We are wanting to make mysql connections over an ssh tunnel.

In this case, lets say that hostA is our local machine, and hostB is the Amazon EC2 instance. I have tried several different variations (that I have found from google searching), including: from hostA: ssh -L 22222:hostB:3306 user@hostB from hostA: ssh -L 22222:localhost:3306 user@hostB from hostA: ssh -L 22222:hostB:3306 user@localhost

On HostA run the following within a screen session;

ssh user@hostB -L 22222:127.0.0.1:3306

Hope this helps.
