PortForwarder is an
implementation of SSH Port Forwarding on windows platform, developed
by Fujio Nobori. Though PortForwarder 1.1.1 has no compressing
capability, its source code has compression function using gzip library
(zlib). It is very easy to enable compression.
I have only tested this patch on Windows 2000. It should work on
Windows 95/98/ME as well. I think it is not so hard to build Windows
CE version.
Unpack zlib source archive into PortForwarder folder
patch -p1 < pf111-zlib113.patch
nmake
If nmake ends successfully, you will find PortForwarder.exe
and PF-keygen.exe in Win folder. I recommend that
you should copy zlib-1.1.3\zlib.dll into there to avoid
loading another zlib.dll that may cause application error.
Now you get compression enabled version of PortForwarder 1.1.1, and
two keywords, Compression and CompressionLevel, in
config get back their effects.
