Remote port forwarding

What it does

Remote forwarding is the reverse of local forwarding: a port on the server forwards back to a service on (or reachable from) your device. Use it to show a locally running app to someone who can reach the server, or to let a remote process call back into your machine.

Setting up a rule

1. Open a tunnel session for the server.
2. Add a remote forwarding rule: remote port → local host → local port.
3. Start the rule and watch its status in the session.

Notes

• Whether the server exposes the forwarded port beyond localhost is controlled by the server’s sshd configuration (GatewayPorts), not by SigilTTY.
• As with all tunnel rules, the rule lives as long as its tunnel session is open.
