Forward local port or socket file to remote socket file

September 2, 2022 by Tarik

Altough in the time, when the question was asked, it was really impossible,
but it is possible nowadays.

You can to both: UNIX=>TCP and UNIX=>UNIX forwarding.

For example:

ssh \
  -R/var/run/mysql.sock:/var/run/mysql.sock \
  -R127.0.0.1:3306:/var/run/mysql.sock \
  somehost

It is possible since OpenSSH 6.7.
