[lug] ssh and Konqueror

[John Hernandez]

That's really funky.  Check out the ssh(1) man page, specifically the -L and -R options.

Something like this will do what you describe (assuming you don't have a local webserver on port 80):

ssh -L 80:localhost:<portnumber> <webserver>

Then with your local browser, open http://localhost
