A small port-forwarding utility

This allows forwarding ports that you would otherwise not be able to see. More dangerous, probably not what you want most of the time, but OK for now. (I continue to resist adding clap as a dependency.) |

fwd
A port-forwarding utility.
Here's how it works:
- Get the latest release of
fwd - You install
fwdon the server somewhere in your$PATH(like/usr/bin/) - You install
fwdon the client (like your laptop) - You run
fwdon the client to connect to the server, like so:
doty@my.laptop$ fwd some.server
fwd will connect to some.server via ssh, and then show you a screen listing all of the ports that the server is listening on locally.
Use the up and down arrow keys (or j/k) to select the port you're interested in and press e to toggle forwarding of that port.
Now, connections to that port locally will be forwarded to the remote server.
If the port is something that might be interesting to a web browser, you can press <ENTER> with the port selected to open a browser pointed at that port.
If something is going wrong, pressing l will toggle logs that might explain it.
Press q to quit.
