port-forwarding

I want to make a port forward from my public server to my home pc, to connect through ssh. What have I done wrong?

From home pc I run command:

ssh -R 8022:127.0.0.1:22 remote.host

Now when I try to connect with:

ssh remote.host -p 8022

I get error "Connection refused"

But when I connect to remote.host through ssh, and try to run:

ssh localhost -p 8022

It connects to my home PC.

How I can connect to home with one simple command?

ssh remote.host -p 8022
