How to achieve port forwarding

you will need a few things:

A computer through which you want to achieve port forwarding:

details required:

ip
port # any port would do
ssh key # if needed to access the computer or password
username on that computer


run this command in the terminal to port forward from port 8080 on your computer to the remote computer over ssh.

     ssh -D 8080 -C -N -i ~/.ssh/key.pem ubuntu@<ip>

Now configure your browser to talk to this computer as a proxy server on the port you specified.

This is browser level configuration for Firefox. You can configure the same proxy settings at Ubuntu/OS level to use it across the system from any browser or computer.

cheers.

Folders and Files created with Ubuntu on an NTFS drive not showing up on widows.. [Solved]

Recently i upgraded my windows PC from 7 to 8 and on the same pc i updated my Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10.

All was going smoothly until one day, while using Ubuntu I transferred some files and folders to a NTFS drive that i use for  common data storage between the 2 OS like my Eclipse Work spaces , Study materials , Songs , Movies, etc...

When i opened up my Windows and looked for those files they weren't there.
I was shocked and thought i might have deleted them my mistake somehow.

I quickly switch OS back to Ubuntu and found those files to be present in that drive.

I cross checked one more time and found out that this certainly was the case, weird right..??


Well not exactly.
I later found out that the files were there on the hard drive it was just that windows wasn't showing it.

Why ?

we will cover that in some time, but first lets first solve the issue that we have in hand.
