Create SSH tunnel using MobaXterm on Windows

Question

I have SSH access to a CentOS server.

There I have a venv with Python 3 where I have Jupyter Notebooks installed.

If I create a notebook

jupyter notebook

It gives me a localhost URL with a specific token.

Example: http://localhost:[PORT]/?token=[TOKEN]

As I want to access that URL on the local Windows machine, how do I do that using MobaXterm?

Answer 1

The correct procedure is called SSH tunneling. Here's how to do it:

1. Open MobaXterm

2. In the top ribbon, select Tunneling

This pop-up will appear

3. Press New SSH tunnel

Now configure it accordingly to your needs.

Taking the example mentioned in the question, we will have the following:

Local Clients

• Forwarded Port: [PORT]

Remote Server

• Remote Server: localhost

• Remote Port: [PORT]

SSH Server

• SSH server: Name of the server one is connecting to

• SSH login: Username to login to the server

• SSH port: 22
