channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed

[juice vc]

i used the command 'ssh -L2001:localhost:163 127.0.0.1' to test my local forwarding.
so i start a server process listening on 163 port

when i try to send something through the 2001 port,the system show me this error.

(i did open the AllowTcpForwarding yes option on sshd_config)

please help me on this,thanx

Hello,

Your syntax is wrong. Check the SSH manual:

-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport]

bind_address is the locally-bound server
IP address or hostname (in your case
localhost or whatever)

port is locally bound port (in your case
2001)

host is "remote" host (in your case
you obviously want to test localhost, in
other words 127.0.0.1)

hostport is remote port (in your case 163)

Hello,

Is port 163 open on your server:

# telnet localhost 163

Trying...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused


the port is closed?

bstdev2[/]ssh -L2001:localhost:163 127.0.0.1
bstdev2[/]telnet localhost 2001
Trying...

Hello,

Since port 163 is closed on the localhost,
you cannot use SSH to forward port 2001 to it.

You need to use some other active port
that is responding on the local machine.

i test another two port,but the problem still there.

i guess the local-port 2001 maybe got something wrong with the purview problem when i try to open it(i used root purview)

[juice vc]

use -R to bind Server port could solved this problem.....
