I'm trying to write a go application that would allow me to perform reverse ssh tunneling between a Windows machine and a Linux machine using the go ssh library.
In the process of doing so, I create a listener on the remote machine, as follows:
remoteListener, err := sshClient.Listen("tcp", remoteString)
where sshClient is an object of type ssh.Client and is configured to connect to the remote machine.
The issue here is that when the sshd process on the Linux machine disrupts the connection with the application, the ssh Listener remains alive on the remote machine. So, reconnecting with the application fails because a listener is already running on the same port on the remote machine.
How do I get around this issue? Does the ssh library allow me to define a timeout on the listener?
