Hi,

I'm trying to do a remote port forward, and the remote hosts only listens to 127.0.0.1 on the forwarded port.

You can't control that from the client end, as it could be a security risk for the remote installation.

Makes sense.

If the remote host is under your control and is running sshd from OpenSSH, you can add the following directive to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on that system:

GatewayPorts yes

That will tell the sshd to make forwarded ports listen on 0.0.0.0 instead of on 127.0.0.1

Excellent, thanks for the help it now works ! :).
