ssh passthrough as proxy

 
Hi,

when creating a ssh connection it is possible to set another ssh server as a proxy by choosing 'SSH_PASSTHROUGH' as the proxy and entering the IP/user/password of the proxy server.

But when I try to connect, xshell only connects to the proxy server and not to the machine i want to connect to. Maybe I misunderstood this feature? For security reasons, I have to connect to a ssh server first (the proxy) and from there connect to the machine I want to work on.


Regards,
Matthias

Re: ssh passthrough as proxy

 
SSH_PASSTHROUGH is specially designed feature for one of our partners products, GateOn.

In general, you can use the expect and send feature to accomplish the same. This feature is under Logon Scripts in session Properties.

With the expect and send feature, you can set to expect the terminal prompt and send the connection information for the destination server.

Hope this helps.
