I'm not sure I understand what's your issue here. This command will only forward any packets sent to localhost:7777 on the server to port 7777 on the client. You still need a program listening on port 7777 on the client (either sshd, telnet, my sample program...). Sorry, I wasn't clear enough : I open the connection with "ssh [ip] -R 7777:localhost:7777". Once this is done, I launch "netcat -l -p 7777" on another terminal and "netcat localhost 7777" on

Normally, netcat on the server should read its stdin and send it to localhost:7777, which is forwarded to my local computer, so I should see it on the netcat listening. But the netcat on the server simply exits without any error message, even in verbose mode. I don't know where the error can be. It worked when I tried local port forwarding, with the netcat listening on the server and sending messages from my computer, but that's not what I need. Maybe it is a firewall issue ? I don't know much in networks and I don't know how to debug that.
