SSH Reference Manual
 -p port Connect to this port. Server must be on the same port. 
 -L listen-port:host:port Forward local port to remote address 
 -R listen-port:host:port Forward remote port to local address 
 These cause ssh to listen for connections on a port, and 
 forward them to the other side by connecting to host:port. 
 -C Enable compression. 
 -N Do not execute a shell or command. 
 -g Allow remote hosts to connect to forwarded ports. 
 -o 'option' Process the option as if it was read from a configuration file. 
 -s Invoke command (mandatory) as SSH2 subsystem. 
 -S process connect using this SSH2 process.

CPU time: 0:00:00.007

General Runtime options 
-l user 
Specify the user to log in as on the remote machine. 
-V 
Display version number only, then terminate. 
-Z 
The banner normally printed by the ssh client is suppressed (line "SSH client version 
T9999H06_22Jan2014_comForte_SSH_0097" in the above example). The suppression of the client banner can also be 
achieved by specifying a PARAM/environment variable SUPPRESSCLIENTBANNER with possible values 0 for false 
and 1 for true (the -Z option takes precedence over the PARAM/environment variable). 
-q 
Quiet mode: No warning or error messages are printed. 
-c ciphers 
Specify a comma-separated list of ciphers for encrypting the session. Currently the following ciphers are supported: 
•  aes256-cbc: AES (Rijndael) in CBC mode, with 256-bit key 
•  aes128-cbc: AES with 128-bit key 
•  twofish256-cbc: Twofish in CBC mode, with 256-bit key 
•  twofish128-cbc: Twofish with 128-bit key 
•  twofish-cbc: alias for "twofish256-cbc" (Note: this is being retained for historical reasons) 
•  blowfish-cbc: Blowfish in CBC mode 
•  3des-cbc: three-key 3DES in CBC mode 
•  arcfour: the ARCFOUR stream cipher 
•  cast128-cbc: CAST-128 in CBC mode 
If this option is not specified, the client will negotiate a cipher from list configured for the SSH2 server using the 
CIPHERS parameter. 
-m macs 
Specify a comma-separated list of message authentication algorithm for the session. Currently the following MACs are 
supported:
