This command 1. SSH into a machine 2. Tunnels VNC port to your local computer ("-L 5900:localhost:5900") 3. Runs a single use vnc server ("x11vnc -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0") 4. Goes into the background ("-f") 5. Runs VNC viewer on the local computer connecting to the remote machine via the newly created SSH tunnel ("vinagre localhost:5900")
While `sshfs $REMOTE_HOST:$REMOTE_PATH $LOCAL_PATH` "pulls" a directory from the remote server to the local host, the above command does the reverse and "pushes" a directory from the local host to the remote server. This makes use of the "slave" option of sshfs which instructs it to communicate over plain stdin/stdout and the `dpipe` tool from vde2 to connect the sftp-server stdout to the sshfs stdin and vice-versa.
This creates a persistent ssh -i /path/to/key -ND local-IP:PORT User@Server connection. You may have to install autossh. -f puts in daemon mode. if you are having trouble, try it without -f.
Create a persistent remote Proxy server through an SSH channel. Show Sample Output
It requires https://jqplay.org/, that comes with brew: brew install jq Show Sample Output
Really useful when out of space in your current machine.

Or even run other command's:
tcpdump | ssh root@10.0.0.1 "cat > /tmp/tcpdump.log"

Remote [A] (with physical serial port connected to device)
./remserial -d -p 23000 -s "115200 raw" /dev/ttyS0 &
Local [B] (running the program that needs to connect to serial device)
Create a SSH tunnel to the remote server:
ssh -N -L 23000:localhost:23000 user@hostwithphysicalserialport
Use the locally tunnelled port to connect the local virtual serial port to the remote real physical port:
./remserial -d -r localhost -p 23000 -l /dev/remser1 /dev/ptmx &
Example: Running minicom on machine B using serial /dev/remser1 will actually connect you to whatever device is plugged into machine A's serial port /dev/ttyS0.
Check the ssh_config file and set the variable: StrictHostKeyChecking no
