SSH port forwarding

[goerz]

Now that Blink is on the App store and we may look to the future, I'm just going to put this feature request out here: SSH port forwarding

[carloscabanero]

Definitely another killer feature ;)

I think the Apple terms of service prevent this. However, since it is open sourced those who side load it could have port forwarding enabled. Just the production store version would need port forwarding disabled or it would be rejected by Apple. I think.

There are some apps on the app store (e.g. vSSH) that provide port forwarding

That would be great! Termius has it, so I imagine it's not violating Apple's ToS. That and AgentForwarding are the two reasons I'm still using Termius occasionally.

I figured out a workaround that allows me to connect the iPad to a jupyter notebook, so having port forwarding in Blink (and a built-in browser, #143) has become a little less pressing (but would still be a very nice feature)!

I'd love port forwarding, it's essentially the only way to access EMR backed Zeppelin notebooks

+1 port forwarding would be excellent!

Moving to libssh, we are rewriting a good chunk of the ssh client. If done well, these might come almost for free.

So how do we want this to work? Would the usual -L incantation be enough for a first release?

[jucor]

Yes, completely enough for first release!
