"Daisy Chain" SSH ???

[bob selby]

Hi,

I currently SSH into my box via the internet using a certificate to access (with WinSCP) a mounted second disk used as a file store.

I would now like to be able to connect to a machine on the internal network with WinSCP.

I have seen some mention on the web about chaining SSH to allow this.

Is this possible with 040 ??

If so, any tips would be welcome

Bob

Using PuTTy and your certificate you can use the "SSH"->"Tunnels" port forwarding option to allow basically local access to your internal network.

The key is that once you open the SSH connection to your FREESCO box with PuTTY, just minimize it and then you will be able to just use the port you have forwarded using "localhost" as the IP address and it will be able to connect to the remote machine inside your remote network. Just be sure to configure the port forwarding with the internal IP of the machine you want to connect to and what ever port/ports you need.

I think this should be possible using the SSH server in 0.4.0, but I truly do not remember what options Dropbear was configured with in that version of FREESCO. I know it works in later versions.
