Start by opening the tunnel. Specify the port locally, and the port to which you are going to connect:
ssh -L 3307:localhost:3306 dummy@www.inevergetitright.com
-L is the instruction to listen at port 3307
3307 is the port you have opened locally for the tunnel
localhost - that's you
3306 is the port opened at inevergetitgright
dummy is the user recognized on the inevergetitright server
Suppose you are doing this to set up a mysql connection on the remote server. All you do is open mysql in the normal way, but specify a port:
mysql -u asdfsd -p -P 3307 -h 127.0.0.1
Note that you have to specify 127.0.0.1. "localhost" won't work!
