Hello,
If I might refresh old topic. According to someone's suggestion, that
tunnelier handles RDC in a special way (fixing potential framing
problem) I asked bitvise directly if it does really. They denied:
"I honestly don't see a reason why PuTTY wouldn't work. I don't see
any substantial differences between how PuTTY implements the reverse
tunnel, and how Tunnelier does."
https://fogbugz.bitvise.com/default.asp?flowssh.3.17114.2
I made one test with synchronized timers on remote RDP server and
client connecting to -R-ed port. Here's the outcome (last number is
the amount of bytes sent):
=======================================================================================
enter pressed in login window
=======================================================================================-------"

RDC to client 19:37:00 272
Client to RDC 19:37:00 46
Client to RDC 19:37:00 72
=======================================================================================
disconnect
=======================================================================================
Before I try to examine the protocol using network snoopers - do you
have any more ideas?
