error making an ssh tunnel

I'm getting an error trying to create an ssh tunnel.

*ssh –L 10548:localhost:548 username@my.computer.at.work*

returns

*ssh: Error resolving hostname \342\200\223L: nodename nor servname provided, or not known*

normal ssh works ok so the problem is with localhost. This only happens on one of my computers. the other one connects fine using the same internet connection.

P.S. I just checked and this only happens on one user account. the rest are fine.

I figured out your issue.

You are not using the correct minus sign in your command.

I copy pasted your command into my terminal and change the server to mine and I get the could not resolve hostname error.

I replace your minus sign infront of your L with the correct sign and it worked

try pasting the following command and it will work

ssh -L 10548:localhost:548 username@my.computer.at.work
