Thank you. Think about it, what do you want to do. You want to access a port that is not available to the outside world, that's you, you are the outside world. There is a way, and it's by making a tunnel through the obstruction[s]. So you set up your tunnel by calling Jsch#connect, once you have a connection you effectively have a tunnel from you to the server, now you say, session.setPortForwardingL(8888, moonprod, ); This says, anything I send to port 8888 on my local machine I want to forward to port on the remote machine. Now, if there is a servlet container on port remote:whatever and you POST to localhost:8080 the request will be forwarded *through the tunnel* to remote:whatever where your servlet is waiting. Bingo, you just hit your servlet by tunneling through the obstructions via the secure connection you set up via Jsch. Give it a go and report back and let us know how you got on. lipska -- Lipska the KatŠ: Troll hunter, sandbox destroyer and farscape dreamer of Aeryn Sun
