Opens a port on your machine and tunnel all traffic to a custom target host via the SSH server, for example to connect with a database server behind a firewall.
ssh_tunnel(session, port = 5555, target = "rainmaker.wunderground.com:23")ssh connection created with ssh_connect()
integer of local port on which to listen for incoming connections
string with target host and port to connect to via ssh tunnel
This function blocks while the tunnel is active. Use the tunnel by connecting to
localhost:5555 from a separate process. Each tunnel can only be used once and will
automatically be closed when the client disconnects. It is intended to tunnel a single
connection, not as a long running proxy server.

scp,
ssh_connect(),
ssh_credentials,
