CS 213 & CS 313 Remote Access Tunneling using PUTTY.

CS213 and CS313 require using a Web Server that runs on Jordan on our Linux network.

Retrieving XHTML documents from your public_html directory in Linux requires you to be on the campus network. Wireless connections and off campus internet access will not work for our web assignments unless you tunnel into our web server. The following screenshots show how to setup a putty connection that will tunnel in and allow accesses to your documents through a wireless connection or from off campus.

You must first setup an SSH tunnel. Run putty.

Setup a saved session as normal - Setup the Host name (or IP address) using one of the standard linux lab machines IP address and use Port 215.

Next setup your tunnel by going to

Connection->SSH->Tunnels

In the screen show below, do the following:

Enter 80 into the “Source Port” field.

Enter 157.201.194.254:80 into the “Destination” field.

Click on the “ADD” button

Click of the Session category and save your Session.

You can now load your session and then open it. Then login as normal.

You must keep putty running anytime you want to tunnel in.

You now can accesss a web page using the following URL:
