Outgoing Tunnel and Incoming Tunnel

The outgoing and incoming tunnel settings are configured using the Outgoing page and Incoming page of the Settings dialog, respectively. Any changed tunneling settings will take effect the next time you login.

Outgoing Tunnel

Outgoing tunnels protect the data that your local computer sends to the remote host computer.

Configuring Tunnels

The following buttons are available for configuring outgoing and incoming tunnels.

  • Add

    Click the Add button to add a tunnel definition. An Add New Tunnel dialog appears, allowing you to define the name, type, listen port, destination host, and destination port of the tunnel. With outgoing tunnels you can also define if you allow local connections only.

    Note that if you are tunneling an FTP connection, you must set the tunnel type as FTP.

  • Edit

    Select a tunnel definition from the displayed list and click the Edit button to edit a previously defined tunnel. An Edit Tunnel dialog appears, allowing you to edit the name, listen port, destination host, and destination port of the outgoing tunnel. With outgoing tunnels you can also define if you allow local connections only.

  • Remove

    Select a tunnel definition from the displayed list and click the Remove button to remove a previously defined tunnel. Note that the selected tunnel will be removed immediately, with no confirmation dialog being displayed.
