#20 SSH Port Tunneling

[Anonymous]

It would be incredible to be able to configure a connection so that
it tunnels through ssh. Being that most people have firewalls in
front of their mysql servers this would be extremely useful.

Check out this little app:

Why not just use your SSH client and make the tunnel
yourself? I think this is one of those "feature really
doesn't belong in this program" issues. Every OS I've used
has a nice SSH program for building the tunnels for you.

Whilst 'nobody''s comment is fully correct as far as it goes, it is not, I
submit the best way to organise a GUI application such as CocoaMySQL.

If you need a tunneled SSH connection then CocoaMySQL should have a widget
to make one, even if this means bundling the client code into the .app .

I certainly can't provide off the top of my head, a step by step recipe for
an end-user to set-up an SSH tunnel using an SSH client (which one did you
have in mind: RBrowser? Fugu? MacSSH? ).

See http://www.math.harvard.edu/sectioning/sectioning_osx/index.html for someone
who perhaps can, and marvel at the hideous result! Or
http://www.nbcs.rutgers.edu/ssh/ssh_osx.php3 and bear in mind that those concise
instructions are probably aimed at computer scientists.

It is a perfectly reasonable request. If the O.P is still reading this, could you
check whether the latest beta is good for you; and if not perhaps suggest some ideas
for this UI.
