Access Ipython Notebook Running on Remote Server

Have installed Anaconda Python on remote linux machine.

Used putty on local Windows to login to remote linux machine to remotely start the Ipython Notebook. It's started on port 8888.

remote_user@remote_host$ ipython notebook --no-browser --port=8888

Now I need to access this Notebook on local browser. Have tried doing ssh tunnel.

C:\Users\windowsUser> ssh -N -f -L localhost:8888:localhost:8888 remote_user@remote_host

ssh: connect to host remote_host port 22: Bad file number

But not able to get it right. Getting the above error

Note: the user windowsUser does not exist on remote_host(linux). Remote user account is remote_user.

Where am i going wrong? Plzz help

I don't think window has a ssh cmd,

if local is a standard ssh client use

C:\Users\windowsUser> ssh -N -f -L 8888:localhost:8888 remote_user@remote_host

BTW

ipython notebook --ip=remote_host_ip

then you can access with http://remote_host_ip:8888/tree

It appears you have a typo. In your ssh command you should not have "localhost" twice.

The corrected command is:

ssh -N -f -L 8888:localhost:8888 remote_user@remote_host

Because the syntax for the command is:

ssh -L <Local Port>:<Local Machine>:<Target Port>  <Target Machine>

(see http://www.slashroot.in/ssh-port-forwarding-linux-configuration-and-examples)

Furthermore, you could instead modify your ssh config file (in ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh_config) to include port forwarding:

Host remote_host
Hostname PUT_REMOTE_IP_HERE
Port 22
User remote_user
LocalForward 8888 localhost:8888
