NAME

       hts - httptunnel server

SYNOPSIS

       hts [options] [host:][port]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page briefly documents the hts command.

       hts  listens  for  incoming  httptunnel  connections  at  PORT (default port is 8888), and
       optionally binds to ip address HOST.  When a connection is made, I/O is redirected to  the
       destination specified by the --device, --forward-port or --stdin-stdout switch.

OPTIONS

       The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two
       dashes (`-').  A summary of options are included below.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -c, --content-length BYTES
              use HTTP PUT requests of BYTES size (k, M, and G postfixes recognized)

       -d, --device DEVICE
              use DEVICE for input and output

       -F, --forward-port HOST:PORT
              connect to PORT at HOST and use it for input and output

       -k, --keep-alive SECONDS
              send keepalive bytes every SECONDS seconds (default is 5)

       -M, --max-connection-age SEC
              maximum time a connection will stay open is SEC seconds (default is 300)

       -s, --stdin-stdout
              use stdin/stdout for communication (implies --no-daemon)

       -S, --strict-content-length
              always write Content-Length bytes in requests

       -V, --version
              output version information and exit

       -w, --no-daemon
              don't fork into the background

       -p, --pid-file LOCATION
              write a PID file to LOCATION

       -C, --chroot LOCATION
              chroot to LOCATION before serving clients

       -u, --user USER
              change user and group identities before serving clients

EXAMPLES

       Start httptunnel server
              hts -F localhost:22 8888 Aat host REMOTE, set up httptunnel  server  to  listen  on
              port 8888 and forward to localhost:22

       Start httptunnel client
              htc  -F  2222 -P PROXY_ADDRESS:8000 REMOTE_IP:8888 At host LOCAL, set up httptunnel
              client  to  forward  localhost:2222  to  REMOTE_IP:8888  via  a  local   proxy   at
              PROXY_ADDRESS:8000

       Or, if using a buffering HTTP proxy
              htc -F 2222 -P PROXY_ADDRESS:8000 -B 48K REMOTE_IP:8888

       Now you can connect through the tunnel on host LOCAL
              ssh ssh://localhost:2222
