Question about forward_remote

[analog-cbarber]

I can use ssh -R to get access to an enterprise server, e.g.

ssh -R 8443:<remote-server>:443 ...

I hoped that the same thing would work using the connect_remote method:

    conn = Connection(
        host,
        user=user,
        forward_agent=True,
        connect_kwargs=dict(password=password),
        config=config,
    )

    with conn.forward_remote(
        remote_port=443,
        local_port=8443,
        remote_host="<remote-server>",
    ):
        pass

But this results in

paramiko.ssh_exception.SSHException: TCP forwarding request denied

What am I missing or failing to understand?

Try :

AllowTcpForwarding yes

The error indicates that the SSH server has not allowed TCP forwarding for the specified ports. This restriction is often controlled by the SSH server's configuration, specifically the AllowTcpForwarding option. So I hope this helps
