That should work, but I'm not sure if running webmin on the localhost of yer local machine is causing a problem.

Use the ip address of the machine that is running webmin instead of 127.0.0.1.

So you are running webmin on the local machine as well?

Change the local port in the SSH tunnel to something like 10001 and try to connect that way.

Success!!! thanks very much, i decided to re install my server from scratch had been messing around with too many settings so started with clean slate.

Installed server updated everything then installed webmin.

Set up ssh tunnel with puTTY and used 10001 as local port worked straight away. many many thanks.

The next step is remote desktop I've been messing around with various without a lot of success.

What do you recomend for vnc server and client which I can put thorough ssh tunnel?

If you have a GUI on the server, I'd recomment using NX to access it.

Otherwise, it's easier to forward X over SSH by running this:

ssh -X user@host
