Question

I have connected to a remote server using ssh:

ssh -i <keypair> <user@server>

How do I determine the outgoing port that my ssh client is using to connect to the remote server ?

I want to know so that I can setup my VNC Client to use that port...

NOTE: I am not talking about the port on the remote server!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Look at the variable $SSH_CLIENT - the second number is the client port.

OTHER TIPS

Should you want to know it from the client side, you can run this command

lsof -p pid | grep TCP

with pid being the process ID of the ssh command
