Issue
In my company we use terminal server and we have the IDE (PhpStorm) in a remote machine. I want to use Xdebug with the web and apps that we are developing but every time I want to use it I have to open Putty and create a tunnel with the next parameters.
After that I login myself with the credentials and everything it's ready to use Xdebug. If I run a file I get this.
I want to do the same from the SSH terminal in PhpStorm. I can connect to the terminal but if I try to use the command to forward the ports I get errors all the time. I show you some of them. Sorry for the indentation, I don't know how to fix it. I try to use the port 220 because I think it is the one for this server.

Solution
You are trying to create a tunnel being logged onto the server via ssh already, that would not work.
You need to start ssh from the Windows machine, not from the server.
ssh -R 9000:localhost:9000 [email protected] -p 220
