- -m path

- -batch
-

- -pw password
-
Set remote password to password. CAUTION: this will likely make the password visible to other users of the local machine (via commands such as `w').
- -L [srcaddr:]srcport:desthost:destport
-
Set up a local port forwarding: listen on srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and forward any connections over the SSH connection to the destination address desthost:destport. Only works in SSH.
- -R [srcaddr:]srcport:desthost:destport
-
Set up a remote port forwarding: ask the SSH server to listen on srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and to forward any connections back over the SSH connection where the client will pass them on to the destination address desthost:destport. Only works in SSH.
- -D [srcaddr:]srcport
-
Set up dynamic port forwarding. The client listens on srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and implements a SOCKS server. So you can point SOCKS-aware applications at this port and they will automatically use the SSH connection to tunnel all their connections. Only works in SSH.
