rsub with sublime and ssh connection refusual

Question

I was having the same problem.

Let remoteHost = the IP or hostname of the machine you’re attempting to ssh to.

I ran ssh -R 52698:localhost:52698 remoteHost from my local machine, after whice rmate .profile on remoteHost worked.

That led me to determine that ~/.ssh/config on my local machine was incorrect.

I set ~/.ssh/config to look like this:

Host remoteHost
  RemoteForward 52698 localhost:52698

It’s been working solidly since I made that change.
