Even simpler way to ssh through a firewall
% ssh rexobox
% rcp rexobox:some-file .
(via Bjørn Stabell 白熊)
In his article Jacky explained how to easily drill holes through to ports on machines behind a firewall. What I normally want is to have ssh access to machines behind firewalls, allowing me to do scp, and easily ssh in without a stupid stop-over on the firewall machine.
I came across this solution that does exactly that. After the super-simple set-up I’m able to do:
% ssh rexobox
% rcp rexobox:some-file .
