so i have a question about tunneling. i have a server at school (FC5) i need to update and because of our schools firewall whenever i "yum update" when it brings down the headers they are incomplete and it fails (and takes forever to fail to). i have a friend with an ssh server and i was going to tunnel port 80 through it to get the updates. the only question is i get a weird error
my command is
Code:
ssh -l myuser -D 80 theserverip
is this right? will this even work? ive only used tunneling to do connections to my own vnc server and that was through putty so it was a lil easier (more specific). fyi im not using my server cause it runs on port 10001 and my schools firewall again filters it out. any answers would be helpful, thnx
