<h3>How do I set up an SSH tunnel from Windows?</h3>
<p>First you need to have access to a terminal or shell on your machine. For windows, you will need to use a terminal emulator. For more details, see <a href="005.html">What is Cygwin?</a></p>
<ol>
<li>Open a terminal.</li>
<li>Type <code>pwd</code> to verify that you are in your home directory.</li>
<li>Type <code>ssh -2 -x -L 2401:localhost:2401 tunnel@openoffice.org</code> to establish a connection (or tunnel). See the <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddSSHGuide.html#HowtoConnect">procedure</a> for details about the first connection after your public key has been uploaded to the server.</li>
<li>Verify that the path to your key shows correctly. It should match the path used when the public key file set was generated. Type in your passphrase, then press <b>Enter</b>.<br/>
(<b>Note:</b> The cursor does not move, yet each keystroke of the passphrase <i>is</i> read.) It will give you three chances to enter the right password.</li>
<li>If all goes well, you will get the message:<br/>
<code>Tunnel established. Type ctrl-c to exit.</code>
<br/>If you get a request for a password after entering a passphrase, this is an indication that the wrong passphrase was entered, in which case you exit out and start over.</li>
<li>Minimize this terminal; you will need it again to exit the tunnel. Open a second terminal to begin your work in <a href="016.html">CVS</a>.</li>
</ol>
