NAME

	sshnet – secure tcp port forwarding

SYNOPSIS

	sshnet [ –m mtpt ] [ –s service ] [ –– ssh–options ] [ user@]host

DESCRIPTION

The SSH protocol allows clients to make outgoing and incoming TCP calls via the server. Sshnet establishes an SSH connection and, rather than execute a remote command, presents the remote server's TCP stack as a network stack (see the discussion of TCP in ip(3)) mounted before mtpt (default /net), optionally posting a 9P service descriptor for the new file system as /srv/service. All other arguments are passed to ssh(1) as is. For dial(2) operations, name resolution happens on the remote side as sshnet serves a mtpt/cs file that passes the hostname to the connect dial string. Other query operations are passed verbatim to the original connection service at mtpt/cs.
