The below is from an answer I posted on stackoverflow.

You can retrieve the chemical structure of an image using the following:

Sub Run()
getImage ("iron")
End Sub

Public Function getImage(ByVal name As String) As String
  Dim imgURL As String
  Dim XMLhttp: Set XMLhttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
  XMLhttp.setTimeouts 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000
  imgURL = "http://cactus.nci.nih.gov/chemical/structure/" + name + "/image"

  XMLhttp.Open "GET", imgURL, False
  XMLhttp.send

  If XMLhttp.Status = 200 Then
   'It exists so get the image
    Sheets(1).Shapes.AddPicture imgURL, msoFalse, msoTrue, 100, 100, 250, 250
  Else
    '
  End If
End Function

This can further simplified to simply only use

Sheets(1).Shapes.AddPicture imgURL, msoFalse, msoTrue, 100, 100, 300, 300

Instead of downloading the image the twice, and simply using an error handler to catch when image not found.

If you follow those guides about migrating your blog to another webhost using import/export functionally…
You must rebuild your permalinks in the exact same format as the original webhost!

Go to Settings > Permalinks, and click save changes.
Make sure you choose the correct permalink structure.

If you do not, all your indexed pages on search engines (google, etc) will disappear and your site will be re-indexed losing you your traffic.

So, you want to access a MYSQL server but you only have an SSH terminal…
Not to worry, you can use SSH tunnelling to do this!

Basic Example

Example: ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 user@IP -p SSHPORT

Now how do you control this dark ssh sorcery? Let’s break it down.

1) 3306:localhost:3306

•  Open a port 3306 on my local machine to redirect
• localhost:3306 means we are tunnelling to 3306 on SSH machine

2) user@IP

This is your username and the IP address of the server

3) -p SSHPORT

This is the ssh port if it is not on 22.

Another Example

ssh -L 9000:192.168.212.1:5000 [email protected] -p 1234

You would use this if you wanted to:

• use your computer port 9000
• to access the port 5000 on IP 192.168.212.1
• through the SSH server 192.168.2.1
• with SSH server port on 1234

Happy SSHing!

I used the following source:

https://bowerstudios.com/node/731

I did this in windows using git bash that has ssh command. You can also do using cygwin or pure minggw.

1) Run ssh tunnel command in command prompt (I do this in git bash/MINGGW32).

ssh -D 9010 -p 22 root@IP -v

2) Run your application on server with JMX options

java -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9010 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -jar 
application.jar

3) Run visualVM through socks proxy to connect:

visualvm -J-Dnetbeans.system_socks_proxy=localhost:9010 
-J-Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true

4) Actually add your JMX remote connection in visualVM
