Using PuTTY to create an SSH Tunnel is an easy and convenient way to encrypt Visimage3 communication between your local PC and the host server. This type of tunneling can be used with any version of Visimage3, however, version 3.4.2.2 includes new features that will automatically launch PuTTY in the background whenever the Visimage3 server is started.
Configuring an SSH Tunnel in PuTTY
These instructions assume that PuTTY is already installed.
Step 1: Create a new Session:
- Run PuTTY and create a new session by entering the Host Name (or IP address), the Port (22) and the Connection type (SSH).
- Enter the session name under "Saved Sessions", for example "Visimage3 Tunnel".
- Do not Save the session yet, we still need to configure the SSH Tunnel information.
Step 2: Configure the SSH Tunnel:
- In the left hand Category panel, click the plus next to SSH and then select Tunnels.
