How SSH Tunnel from Windows VM to the host system, which is running Mac : <p>I am trying to ssh tunnel from a Windows VM to the host system, which is running Mac.</p>

<p>I am running this command:</p>

<pre><code>ssh -L 80:localhost:5454 10.0.2.2
</code></pre>

<p>It then prompts me three times for a password like this:</p>

<pre><code>Password:
Password:
Password:
</code></pre>

<p>Each time I enter my password for the windows vm, and it then prompts me for another password:</p>

<pre><code>John Smith@10.0.2.2's password:
</code></pre>

<p>Now this I think is the password I am using for my Mac host system, but it says permission denied and thats it.</p>

<p>So my question is what are these passwords referring to? My ssh password? Even though I have never set one of these up.</p>

<p>Any help would be great!</p>
