Solution

  • 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.
