21 August SSH hopping

Friday, August 21st, 2009 - 01:50 pm

Recently, two of the servers I normally SSH into had to be locked down to where they can only be accessed from computers at the main office.  Since I work remotely, this of course has been a bit of a pain.  I’ve had to SSH into a work machine, and then SSH from there.

However, I’ve discovered there is a way to hop with SSH:

Now, I can simply type ssh remote and get to the remote machine. Very handy.

Note: Just for completeness, remember that SSH keys need to be properly configured on the “office” machine in order to connect from “office” to “remote”
