Problem in ssh port forwarding on Mac

Question

I've just started playing with ssh on Mac. I want to setup ssh port forwarding. I tried the following command:

ssh -L 10090:192.168.1.105:3892 -l svnac@192.168.1.83

On executing this command, the usage of ssh command is displayed on the terminal. Does this mean I have done something wrong? What am I missing over here?

Answer 1

It looks like you're using a -l where you don't need it. Try this:

ssh -L 10090:192.168.1.105:3892 svnac@192.168.1.83
