Automatic SSH tunneling from Windows
How to reliably keep an SSH tunnel open?How can I set in the bitvise ssh client, the tunnel automatic connect if open windows or restart windows?Ubuntu to Ubuntu VNC over SSH tunnelKill ssh background process after disconnect / timeout?VNC connection over SSH Tunnel with “middleman” server (Windows Viewer to Mac Server)OpenVpn and SSH tunnelingWindows SSH Client to monitor connectionRestrict SSH server tunneling portI keep on getting a error when I connect to a ssh tunnel on puttyHow to manually do what Putty on Windows does?Reverse SSH tunneling for server running in Windows OSOpen SSH tunnel and connect to MySQL
I'm trying to set up a Windows computer to always have two SSH tunnels to my Linux server.
Currently, I'm using PuTTY to open the two SSH tunnels: I log in to the server in PuTTY, leave it minimized, and never touch it. This works well, except when the SSH connection drops: PuTTY displays an error message, and I need to manually close the error and reconnect to the server.
What I'd like to do is have an application that can set up the two SSH tunnels, and can automatically reconnect, without needing to manually do anything, including enter a password. The data I'm sending across the two tunnels is VNC connections, so I often won't be at the machine to clear errors and enter passwords. The two tunnels are one local tunnel, and one remote tunnel.
(Yes, I am aware of the hazards of automatically logging in to SSH. I'm planning on making a dedicated user with no privileges and not allowed to interactively log in, and use that.)
I did find this question: How to reliably keep an SSH tunnel open?, but that's using Linux as the SSH client, and I'm using Windows.

Automatic login is not a hazard if done right. Look up SSH public-key authentication.

I am doing that for the manual logins now, but I believe PuTTY doesn't allow the key to have a blank password.

Of course it does.

I must have misunderstood some of the PuTTY documentation. I probably read "we will never make PuTTY auto-type your password for you", and assumed that meant passwords were required on the key as well.

Try Bitvise Tunnelier - it works for me. I set it to establish SSH tunnels while only being visible as a tray icon. It establishes the SSH connection on startup and re-establishes it as soon as connectivity is restored after a cut or after the system went to sleep. I still prefer the looks of the Putty console, so I keep using it - but for keeping tunnels up I now use Tunnelier. The only major downside I have found is the lack of IPv6 support, which Putty provides with no user action needed.
I've been using this for a few months now. It's just right: sits in the system tray, turn off any popups complaining about disconnects and such, and it keeps the tunnels open. I still use PuTTY if I'm going to be doing much work over the connection, but for tunnels & quick terminal stuff, Tunnelier works good.

It may not be clear, but you set up tunnels in the C2S tab and reverse tunnels in S2C tab. It stands for client2server and server2client, respectively.

If your a fan of Putty, try out Putty Tray.
It has a few additional functions, including attempting to auto-reconnect after a connection failure and reconnecting when your computer wakes from standby.
As already mentioned by someone else, I'd combine this with public-key authentication with no pass-phrase.
In theory this should be pretty reliable, but i'm no security expert so can't advise you on that front.

Two great tools :
Both have those features :
- Could be automated at boot
- Opensource
- Manage many tunnels at the same time
- Could reside in the system tray
- Free of charge (Mobaxterm have a free version)
- Encrypt stored password

I googled it and gota a few results for your question, basically you could always try a search combo of automate putty login
which I did. Here is a particularly useful result that should suit you:
http://www.neox.net/w/2008/04/22/putty-auto-login-macro-putty-connection-manager/
It walks you through how to setup a macro for putty. Also download Putty connection manager here (as the link is broken from initial link):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/puttycm/
The SourceForge link for PuttyCM is broken. See this question.

I used Putty as well and had the same problem until I found a better solution -
Try ADVSoft Persistent SSH
https://persistentssh.com
works as a Windows service and keeps SSH tunnels in run state. Free for personal use, no need to install anything else.
add a comment |
I tried many solutions like SSH tunnel managers, but all were inconvinient for me: too many configuration screens, sometimes buggy (one time SSH tunnel manager purged all! settings I had! So I had to restore settings for all 30 tunnels). So they all lost my trust. That's why I come up with custom Powershell script, easy configurable, changeable, small, but works. Posted here.

If your a fan of Putty, try out Putty Tray.
It has a few additional functions, including attempting to auto-reconnect after a connection failure and reconnecting when your computer wakes from standby.
As already mentioned by someone else, I'd combine this with public-key authentication with no pass-phrase.
In theory this should be pretty reliable, but i'm no security expert so can't advise you on that front.

Two great tools :
Both have those features :
- Could be automated at boot
- Opensource
- Manage many tunnels at the same time
- Could reside in the system tray
- Free of charge (Mobaxterm have a free version)
- Encrypt stored password
1. Mobaxterm

Capture :
2. SSH Tunnel Manager

I googled it and gota a few results for your question, basically you could always try a search combo of automate putty login
which I did. Here is a particularly useful result that should suit you:
http://www.neox.net/w/2008/04/22/putty-auto-login-macro-putty-connection-manager/
It walks you through how to setup a macro for putty. Also download Putty connection manager here (as the link is broken from initial link):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/puttycm/
The SourceForge link for PuttyCM is broken. See this question.

Yes, I do realise. And I found it in a Google search yesterday, and other people may do so for a year or two to come.

I used Putty as well and had the same problem until I found a better solution -
Try ADVSoft Persistent SSH
https://persistentssh.com
works as a Windows service and keeps SSH tunnels in run state. Free for personal use, no need to install anything else.

I tried many solutions like SSH tunnel managers, but all were inconvinient for me: too many configuration screens, sometimes buggy (one time SSH tunnel manager purged all! settings I had! So I had to restore settings for all 30 tunnels). So they all lost my trust. That's why I come up with custom Powershell script, easy configurable, changeable, small, but works. Posted here.

Automatic login is not a hazard if done right. Look up SSH public-key authentication.

I am doing that for the manual logins now, but I believe PuTTY doesn't allow the key to have a blank password.
– David Yaw

Of course it does.
– grawity

I must have misunderstood some of the PuTTY documentation. I probably read "we will never make PuTTY auto-type your password for you", and assumed that meant passwords were required on the key as well.
