Response to: ssh secure AFP connection with OSX 10.3.4 (not server version) How To
May be I was too optimist... I could not get it to work... despite the fact that I can ssh to the server and AFP is running on it. It seems to hang at the authentification stage... Why do not you start the tunnel on the remote host?

  O'Reilly's own book, "SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide" is emphatic, one should use localhost if possible here. And no one should attempt a couple of lines of Unix voodoo before reading and understanding a chapter of such a reference.
  
  Of course, I thought I'd just try a line on the web like this, THEN read the chapter to understand what I'd did. I only made it to the chapter after nothing worked. What then worked in an instant was
  
  ssh -L2001:localhost:548 me@$REMOTEHOST
  
  Lesson here, no free lunch, we're the blind leading the blind here until we RTFM.

  I'm sorry, I'm STILL having problems with this. I've run:
  ssh -L 548:localhost:548 -f -N remote_user@remote.afp.host.com
  
  then I try:
  mount_afp afp://remote_user@localhost/Homes /mnt
  (after I create the directory /mnt)
  
  I get:
  mount_afp: the mount flags are 0000 the altflags are 0020
  mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error -5019, errno is 17
  
  and nothing is mounted.
  I also tried using the finder's "Connect to server" menu option and it insists I don't really
  want to afp connect to the localhost ...
  
  Thanks for any help!

  I recommend using different port on localhost. Try ssh -L 10548:localhost:548 -f -N remote_user@remote.afp.host.com
  
  and
  
  mount_afp afp://remote_user@localhost:10548/Homes /mnt
  
  also use the port number if you connect from finder.
  
  Hope this helps.
