New-SSHRemotePortForward not portforwarding

[dav101]

I saw a old issue which has not been responded to so have created a new one, when calling New-SSHRemotePortForward it throws a error

New-SSHRemotePortForward -LocalAdress 192.168.4.8 -LocalPort 1337 -RemoteAddress 192.168.5.6 -RemotePort 3389 -Index 0

Throws error

Write-Verbose : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Message' because it is null.

Note: I can portforward in a batch script and in git bash, issue is just when using this

Powershell version: 5.1.18362.752 Posh-ssh version: 2.2 from PSGallery OS: Windows 10

No problem, seems there is an issue with the underlying library. I may remove this cmdlet since dev on the library is so low which has impacted module releases as a consequence.

I was just playing with this cmdlet and came across this error as well. Also the typo in the -LocalAddress option only having one "d" (-LocalAdress).

Write-Verbose: C:\Users\MMINOR\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\posh-ssh\3.0.0\Posh-SSH.psm1:2710

Anyway, I can see this is low-priority, but I feel better adding my 2 cents.

Hi, you can easily fix it by changing the index to SessionId:

        foreach($session in $Global:SshSessions)
        {
            Write-Verbose $session.SessionId
            if ($session.SessionId -eq $Index)
            {
                # Add the forward port object to the session
                Write-Verbose "Adding Forward Port Configuration to session $Index"
                $session.session.AddForwardedPort($SSHFWP)
                Write-Verbose "Starting the Port Forward."
                $SSHFWP.start()
                Write-Verbose "Forwarding has been started."
            }
        }
