Ports on remote machines can be forwarded over a SSH tunnel using the ssh command line tool. Using the ssh config file it is possible to set up many ports to be forwarded at the same time running one command. Putty can be used to achieve similar results on Windows.
To forward a port the syntax is the ssh command followed by the local port then the local host then remote port and host
ssh -L 8080:me.local.org:80 myuser@s1.remote.org
To forward many ports at once created a config file in ~/.ssh/config as follows
host localme
HostName s1.remote.org
User myuser
LocalForward 8080 me.local.org 80
LocalForward 8443 me.local.org 443
Then run ssh localme and give the password for myuser
