Hi all,

PD+ssh PROBLEM:

I am trying to send open a socket with PD from a python script that uses the module pdsend.py and that is hosted on a remote server. I access the remote server and launch the script using an ssh connection (ssh client version is OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005). The problem is that I am in a situation that or I am not able to create the *netreceive* object after I opened the connection with that localhost port forwarded, or I am not able to forward the localhost port via ssh if the object already exists and is allready listening on that port.

I have to say that I am not really familiar port forwarding so probably I am not using ssh prorply

example 1: # ssh remote_S with forwared port 3000 on the local machine and # port 8888 on the remote machine. -g allows to forward from the # ssh server to the ssh client

$ssh -g -L3000:localhost:8888 andrea@remote_S

#from pd "netreceive 3000" ... couldn't create

example2 # on PD netreceive 3000 #created $ssh -g -L3000:localhost:8888 andrea@remote_S channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 3000 Could not request local forwarding.

I also tried other solutions like the amazing iemxmlrpc object... Anyway, they are also based on sockets, so I experienced the same problems!

Thank you in advance, Andrea
