TCP adaptor + SSH Tunnel

Greetings.

We have one vendor who requires us to send data using TCP

through an SSH port forwarding tunnel that is set up in advance.

UNIX scripts maintain this, and the Ensemble interface uses a TCP Adapter.

I was thinking that Ensemble could maintain the SSH tunnel, 

which would improve our detecting of issues.

Has anyone done something like this?

I see that the  class %Net.SSH.Session has a method ForwardPort,

but it doesn't stand up the tunnel by itself.   Instead, it appears 

to return a handle into the tunnel.     It will work a bit differently.

Thanks

Seth

• method ForwardPort(pRemoteHost As %String, pRemotePort As %Integer, ByRef pDevice As %String) as %Status

Forwards traffic via the SSH connection to a remote host/port. The traffic is sent via an XDEV device that is opened by ForwardPort() and passed back by reference via the pDevice parameter.
