Tunnel to listening port on host computer

[punto-]

Hi,
Does this work when the listening port is in the host computer? I have a file server running on the computer, and I want the phone to connect to it and use those files (instead of the local filesystem), so I start my file server on port 6010, and run "mobiledevice tunnel 6010 6010", and then direct the client (running on the phone) to localhost:6010. But it seems like the tunnel function is listening for connections coming from the computer, not the phone. Is it possible to do a "reverse tunnel"?

Thanks!

I haven't tried for the src_host, but for the dst_port, yes, technically it should be possible.
Instead of creating a server, I would just need to accept connections from the device (like I already do) on src_port, and connect to dst_port on the host computer.

Would you have any time to work on this?

Instead of creating a server, I would just need to accept connections from the device (like I already do) on src_port, and at the moment connect to dst_port on the host computer.

Would any of your above thread but useful in tunnelling ALL IP traffic out of an IOS device, as is the case for the 'rvictl -s ' command (Xcode tools)?

I'd be interested in programatically tethering the IOS device to my [mac] desktop, so I could share the desktop's internet connection.

Thanks

@sixman9 I am not saying it is not possible, but that would require more information on reverse engineering which I currently do not possess.
