When I use the ssh client to connect to a remote host is it possible
to add a port forward after the connection has been established?
Putty allows you to add port forwards after you have already
established the connection, but as far as I can find the only way to
configure a port forward with the ssh client is on the command line
with the -L flag.

Thank you for your .

The OpenSSH client allows you to do this with ~C -- see the ssh(1) man
page.

That is exactly what I was looking for, must have missed it in the man
page. Thank you very much!
