Holds the channel type.

A ForwardTypesEnum enumeration.  

object.Type [= value]

The Type Property syntax has these parts:

The settings for value are:

Constant		Value	Description
	LocalListen	0	Local forwarding.
	RemoteListen	1	Remote forwarding.
	SocksProxy	2	Dynamic socks proxy forwarding.

Channel type is a very important property of the channel as it describes how the channel operates - whether it initiates connections or accepts them.

Basically there are three types of channel - LocalListen, RemoteListen and SocksProxy.

When you define a channel as LocalListen (and start the channel), then wodSSHTunnel will listen locally on the selected LocalPort. When a connection arrives, it will accept it, encrypt it and send it through the secure tunnel to the SSH server. The SSH server will decrypt it and forward it to RemoteAddress/ RemotePort.

If you define a channel as RemoteListen (and start it), then the SSH server will listen on the selected RemotePort. When a new connection arrives on the SSH server on this port, it will encrypt it and forward it to the local computer. wodSSHTunnel will receive it, decrypt it and initiate a new connection to LocalPort, just as if a connection was made directly to this computer.

Defining a new channel as SocksProxy will cause wodSSHTunnel to open a local port (on the LocalAddress interface). When applications connect to this port, it will provide information about the dynamic tunnel to be created - at the Hostname/Port required by the application. The SocksConnect and SocksBind events will fire to notify you about such operations.
