Whenever I need to access a server running on an HPC which does not support ngrok or localtunnel or even gsocket; the fallback approach is always to rely on SSH port forwarding. The sample problem here is running an HTTP server for viewing graphics in R via httpgd. 1# Local 2export PORT=9899 && ssh -L "${PORT}:localhost:${PORT}" "rog32@krafla.rhi.hi.is" -N -L "${PORT}:localhost:${PORT}" elja 3# New tab 4ssh krafla 5ssh elja 6radian # or R Now in R.
