You can start fshd manually to establish a tunnel.
fshd [ -b ] [ -r method ] [ -l login ] server
The method argument should be an rsh-compatible program.
The default value is ssh.
The login argument specifies the user name that should be used on
the remote system.
The -b option causes fshd to detach from the controlling terminal
and run in the background. It is used by fsh when it auto-starts
an fshd. If this option is not given fshd will print some
messages as connections are established.
fshd sally.lysator.liu.se fshd -r lsh biffen.signum.se fshd -l root biffen.signum.se
You must be able to log in to the remote system without supplying a
password. The in.fshd binary must be present in your path on the
remote system once you log in.
If the connection is successful the message `Connection
established' will be displayed (unless the option `-b' was given).
This typically takes a few seconds. The tunnel remains open until you
kill fshd.
If you want to use fsh to access more than one remote system, or
if you want to use more the one login name, you have to establish one
tunnel to each of them. Also note that different user ids cannot share
a tunnel.
