Quite simple really.. I usually need to map at least 3 ports to work across the ssh link on each of the servers I am accessing.. So the command line would end up being something like this..
ssh -Cg -L xx:<ip>:xx -L yy:<ip>:yy -L zz<ip>:zz <server name>
So create a section in your ~/.ssh/config:
Host <server name> Compression yes GatewayPorts yes LocalForward xx <ip>:xx LocalForward yy <ip>:yy LocalForward zz <ip>:zz
Then just "ssh <server name>". You can even create host aliases this way, by doing:
Host <alias> HostName <real server name> ...
and do "ssh <alias>" to connect to <real server name>.
With PuTTY I am able to simply setup the profile and save it, then each time I need to connect it simply a case of double clicking the profile and logging in.. All the ports are maped and there is very little chance of making a mistake..
Everything you can do at the command line can be set in the config file with OpenSSH. See "man ssh_config" for more information.
I know about RTFM the problem is there are so many M's that time does not allow reading them all.. :)
Thanks..
