I've recently migrated from Mac OSX to Windows 10 and am getting an error when attempting to mirror the ssh local port forwarding setup in my ~/.ssh/config file as follows:

host myhost
HostName myhost.mydomain.com
Port 9005
LocalForward localhost:3680 myhost:3680
User manachi

This works fine on OSX - I can just ssh myhost to connect. However when attempting on Bash on Windows, I get the following error:

bind: Address already in use
bind: Address already in use
channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 3680

Can anyone advise what the issue/workaround for this is?

  • Getting this to work in windows would be quite messy, given the way Bash on Windows currently runs. I believe you can't do what you're trying to do with it at this moment in time.

Try changing the first localhost in the LocalForward statement to 127.0.0.1 to force IPv4 protocol, because in Windows localhost is bound to IPv6 address ::1

LocalForward 127.0.0.1:3680 localhost:3680
