In place of port numbers, you can enter service names, if they are
known to the local system. For instance, in the \q{Destination} box,
you could enter \c{popserver.example.com:pop3}.
You can modify the currently active set of port forwardings in
mid-session using \q{Change Settings}. If you delete a local or
dynamic port forwarding in mid-session, PuTTY will stop listening
for connections on that port, so it can be re-used by another
program. If you delete a remote port forwarding, note that:
