Here’s a little tip on how to tunnel ssh through another machine with the -L option. While not terribly difficult, I did spend some time figuring this out…Maybe this will save someone else some time ;-)
The network setup at work (simplified): Code:
[ Workstation ] | | [ Firewall ] | | ~ The Internet ~ | | [Public webserver] There has to be an easier way … And a look at the SSH manpage provided the answer: The -L option. Excerpt from From ssh(1): Code:
-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side. This works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the local side, optionally bound to the specified bind_address. Code:
$ ssh -f -N -p 22 username@firewall -L 2844/webserver.example.com/22
You can now connect with ssh, sftp, or scp though localhost:2844 Code:
$ ssh -p 2844 myusername@localhost $ scp -P 2844 file.tar.gz myusername@localhost:file.tar.gz Testing For debugging, don’t forget you can specify -v up to three times to get more information about what’s going on. In addition, it’s probably best to test with telnet since this excludes things like authentication problems. Code:
$ telnet localhost 2844 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1p1 FreeBSD-20080901 Bonus tip As a free complimentary bonus tip, it’s also very easy to setup a convenient shortcut in ~/.ssh/config Code:
Host webserver Hostname localhost Port 2844 User myusername ssh(1) ssh_config(5) |
