ssh -p [proxy-ssh-port] -L [local-port]:[remote-host]:[remote-port]
       [user-name]@[proxy-host]

• [proxy-ssh-port] is the ssh port to connect to
• [local-port] is the local port the client software will connect to
• [remote-host] is the name or the IP address of the end point of the tunnel

• [user-name] is the user name SSH will use to logon
