Having successfully managed to use SSH to access and manage my HDA from work I got thinking about how to actually do something useful and make my day a tad more pleasurable and learn something about SSH tunnelling to boot. So I set about using Apple iTunes to listen to music stored on my HDA.

* Your HDA needs to be running an SSH server

* Your router needs to forward an arbitary port to port 22 on your server

* Download and install '''Rendezvous Proxy''' from here: [http://ileech.sourceforge.net/index.php?content=RendezvousProxy-Download RendevousProxy]

We are going to use '''Putty''' to create a SSH connection and tunnel to your HDA. PuTTY is an SSH and telnet client, developed originally by Simon Tatham for the Windows platform. PuTTY is open source software that is available with source code and is developed and supported by a group of volunteers.

OK now fire up '''RendevousProxy.''' '''''Note: ''''' This requires java to run. Press '''Add Host'''

iTunes should now pick up your server as a share. I have AmahiServer showing twice as I am writing this on my LAN on which sits my HDA.
