Reverse tunneling into freenas

[monarchdodra]

Has anyone done this? No matter what I do, I get:
"Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 19999"
I've tried plenty of ports other than 19999.

In my setup, user "me" has public key auth to my freenas, as well as sudo (not sure that changes anything). I run:
me: ssh -R 192.168.0.201:19999:localhost:22 192.168.0.201

... and that's it. I've seen guides on the net, but are almost exclusively Linux specific, and ask you to touch files that aren't even there on my freenas.

I've decided to stop messing around and ask at the source. Did you guys do anything special to make it work?

Thanks!

Were you able to figure this out?

Hum... I just realized there's a checkbox:
http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_services.html#ssh
- Allow TCP Port Forwarding

EDIT: Yes, I figured it out actually, thanks for asking. Sorry for not coming back immediately. I *was* posting a reply right when you asked. In any case, as always, I should read the docs...
