Introduction

In 2006, jTCPfwd (“Jay-Tee-Cee-Pee-Forward”) started as a simple Java command line tool to forward TCP ports. Lots of other features are added, especially for forwarding TCP connections over various other means (the simplest being reverse TCP connections, but also UDP/HTTP tunnelling or writing files to a network share) or for combining/splitting TCP connections to reduce the number of ports needed. The first public release was done in 2010.

There is a lite version available, that will only use socket types supported by Java, and is therefore a lot smaller. The full version uses a lot of custom socket types, therefore has a lot more features, but is also larger.

The manual describes all supported features of both editions.

System requirements

A Java Runtime environment 1.4 or above is needed. You can get it from Java.com.

Quickstart

Just download jTCPfwd (either the lite or the full version) and run it as

java -jar jTCPfwd.jar 1234 www.google.de:80 1235 www.bing.com:80

This will forward local port 1234 to Google, and local port 1235 to Bing. For more advanced features, please refer to the manual.
