Hello there,

it's me again! ;-)

My backups run fine, but now I have a remote situation where I had to
install the SSH server on server A and the cwRsync service on server B
(the actual fileserver I want to backup from).

Server A = 10.0.0.252
Server B = 10.0.0.254

I opened port 22 on my NAT to 10.0.0.252.

I want to backup using ssh tunnel like I'm doing with my other hosts.
What do you think I'll have to change?

Actually the tunnel is opened like:

ssh -fC administrator AT remotehost DOT com -L 8876:localhost:873 sleep 20

The above command line is valid while backing up the "remotehost.com",
or better: the same PC that runs sshd *and* rsyncd. Also, the
"ClientNameAlias" is "localhost" actually.

I guess I have to change both "ClientNameAlias" *and* the
8876:localhost:873, or am I wrong?

I tried with:

ssh -fC administrator AT remotehost DOT com -L 8876:10.0.0.254:873 sleep 20

and

"ClientNameAlias" = 10.0.0.254

But didn't succeed: I always get "no ping" error.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Flavio Boniforti
