Hello Jasem,

  I have read the manual section you mention and it is interesting. I did not 
know what port mapping was and how to use it with ssh for secure connections. 
I have a question, once the indiserver is started in the server, can you log 
out or do you need to keep the ssh connection open?

So, that means that the code is correct as it is now, isn't it?

regards

Pablo.
