I use 80 for a web server, 443 is what I connect to ssh over, 21 I have been doing VNC.

I could never figure out how to get ssh tunneling working.  So I just have my firewall
forward port 443-> 22, 21->5900, 8080->119...

The with just forwarding the ports is that I don't get any compression.

For example, what would be the ssh command to connect from WORK to HOME and tunnel port
5900 from HOME to WORK so that I can run vnc at WORK to localhost::5555 and really be
connecting to HOME.  ssh is listening on port 443 on HOME.

Thanks,

Jim
