Failed to connect remote jupyter notebook

Question

I am trying to run a jupyter notebook on remote remote machine user@remote and use it from my local machine. I did

local@host  $ ssh user@remote
password for user@remote: *******
user@remote $ ipython notebook --no-browser --port=8889

On my local machine then I do

local@host  $ ssh -N -L localhost:8888:localhost:8889 user@remote
password for user@remote: *******

when I open this(localhost:8888) in my browser it says

local@host  $ channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused

Answer 1

Try changing in your command from

localhost:8888:localhost:8889

to

8888:localhost:8889.
