What is Bitvise SSH client used for?

Bitvise SSH Client is used to initiate connections to SSH servers. It is usually used interactively, so it will only run when a user runs it, but it can also be launched unattended to run scripted commands or file transfers, or to maintain an SSH connection for port forwarding.

What is Bitvise client?

Bitvise SSH Client incorporates stnlc, a scriptable command line port forwarding client with support for static port forwarding rules, dynamic SOCKS-based tunneling, as well as the FTP-to-SFTP bridge. For more information about using this client, run ‘stnlc -h’.

How does bitvise protect against SSH tunneling?

If using Bitvise SSH Server and SSH Client, access to the server can be further obscured using SSH protocol obfuscation: this prevents any type of probing by attackers unless they know the obfuscation keyword.

How does SSH tunneling work in the office?

It supports SSH tunneling, too. “Local port forwarding” allows you to access local network resources that aren’t exposed to the Internet. For example, let’s say you want to access a database server at your office from your home. For security reasons, that database server is only configured to accept connections from the local office network.

How to use SSH tunneling to access restricted servers?

On Windows, which doesn’t include a built-in ssh command, we recommend the free tool PuTTY to connect to SSH servers. It supports SSH tunneling, too. “Local port forwarding” allows you to access local network resources that aren’t exposed to the Internet. For example, let’s say you want to access a database server at your office from your home.

What are the different types of SSH tunneling?

There are three different types of SSH tunneling, and they’re all used for different purposes. Each involves using an SSH server to redirect traffic from one network port to another. The traffic is sent over the encrypted SSH connection, so it can’t be monitored or modified in transit.
