Maybe some of you feel like me sometimes: I don't need SSH port forwarding very often. That's why I usually forget the exact ssh call by the time I need it. So that I no longer have to search for the correct call in the man page or on the Internet, I have implemented common scenarios interactively. Simply enter addresses, ports and user names and the result is the correct ssh call. I can simply copy it and use it.
