Channel type is a very important property of the channel as it describes how the channel operates - whether it initiates connections or accepts them.
Basically there are three types of channel -
LocalListen,
RemoteListen and
SocksProxy.
When you define a channel as
LocalListen (and start the channel), then wodSSHTunnel will listen locally on the selected
LocalPort. When a connection arrives, it will accept it, encrypt it and send it through the secure tunnel to the SSH server. The SSH server will decrypt it and forward it to
RemoteAddress/
RemotePort.
If you define a channel as
RemoteListen (and start it), then the SSH server will listen on the selected RemotePort. When a new connection arrives on the SSH server on this port, it will encrypt it and forward it to the local computer. wodSSHTunnel will receive it, decrypt it and initiate a new connection to LocalPort, just as if a connection was made directly to this computer.
Defining a new channel as
SocksProxy will cause wodSSHTunnel to open a local port (on the
LocalAddress interface). When applications connect to this port, it will provide information about the dynamic tunnel to be created - at the Hostname/Port required by the application. The
SocksConnect and
SocksBind events will fire to notify you about such operations.
