title: Tunneling a local command through SSH
body: <p>What is the best way to run a command through an ssh tunnel? Not running the command <em>on</em> the remote server, but forwarding locally created traffic to it through a tunnel.</p>
  
  <p>For example, <code>wget</code>. How can I run <code>wget</code> on my local machine so that it tunnels to a VPS that I have ssh access to? Both the local and remote servers are running Arch Linux.</p>
