Background:

I have 2 machines, A is a server, and B is a local machine behind the firewall.
B has a SQL Server hosted at port 1433.
Now I want to access the SQL Server from A.

Steps:

  1. Set up a freeSSHd on A.
  2. Install PuTTY on B, set a remote port forwarding role R8080->localhost:1433.
  3. Connect to A and the connection has been established.

Putty config:

enter image description here

Error:

When I tried to login SQL Server 127.0.0.1:8080 from A, putty on B reported an error Received SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST for nonexistent channel 0, session disconnected.

PS: When I uncheck the putty option Remote ports do the same, the port 8080 is not open on A. Why?

Event Log: Disconnected: Received SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST for nonexistent channel 0

Update:

I think the issue is partially caused by freeSSHd, so I installed Bitvise SSH Server and tested again. This time A can open 8080 successfully and I accessed localhost:8080 from Chrome on A, the request packet successfuly reached at B, but still can NOT get the correct response. In short puTTY reports

Rejected channel open: Remote port is not recognised.

  • Show us an event log from PuTTY. May 19, 2016 at 8:42

1 Answer 1

The log shows that you have configured port forwarding from port 9000 (contrary to your post) from any host.

When you try to connect to the port 9000 on the server, the server sends the "port-forwarded channel" request to the PuTTY for source host "0.0.0.0". The PuTTY obviously gets confused by the "0.0.0.0" (probably expecting an empty string instead) and rejects the request.

I cannot say, who's wrong, if PuTTY or freeSSHd. But they are obviously not compatible with each other.

I'd definitely try a different SSH server. The freeSSHd does not have a good reputation.

Bitvise SSH server is good and has a free version for personal use.


You may also try to use "0.0.0.0:9000" as the source port to match what the server provides, but I doubt it would work.

  • I tried '0.0.0.0', not working. So use Bitvise server instead and another issue occurred. I've updated the question, please help me out. Thanks.

  • Exceed the max input count:( I've connected two different Bitvise server A & A1, and showed different errors. logs are PuTTY_A and PuTTY_A1. please ignore freeSSHd test log since I've given up using it.

  • Please ignore log of connecting to server A1, it's caused by forgetting granting user port forwarding access.
