Se você realmente quiser através do ssh, tente usar a opção -L
-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport
Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side. This works by allocating a
socket to listen to port on the local side, optionally bound to the specified bind_address. Whenever a connection is made to this port, the connection
is forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is made to host port hostport from the remote machine. Port forwardings can also be specified in
the configuration file. IPv6 addresses can be specified by enclosing the address in square brackets. Only the superuser can forward privileged ports.
By default, the local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts setting. However, an explicit bind_address may be used to bind the connection
to a specific address. The bind_address of “localhost” indicates that the listening port be bound for local use only, while an empty address or ‘*’
indicates that the port should be available from all interfaces.
Você precisará se conectar via ssh ao servidor (com essa opção) e deixar a conexão ssh em execução, para poder usar o encaminhamento de porta. Seu servidor deve estar disponível em 127.0.0.1:port
