>>> The only thing about reverse connection is that the user then has to
open a port on the local firewall. It's not always possible.<br><br>Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by local firewall, but usually as long as you can ssh from your workstation to the login node you can use a reverse ssh tunnel. From your workstation:<br>
<br>ssh -R 11111:localhost:33333 remote_login_node_hostname<br><br>Now any connection to port 11111 on the login node is forwarded through the ssh connection to your workstation's port 33333 (your workstation makes a new connection to localhost:33333 and forwards the traffic)<br>
