#13 SSH Tunnels

[Chris Thomas]

I have just had a really cool idea,

in that you can setup a tunnel with the information it needs, so you can access machines and use esftp with machines which are not facing the internet, you could give the details to login to your internet facing server, then in your esftp preferences, enable tunnels, select the tunnel you wish to use, enter your login details for the non-interface facing server and bingo, you've just gained the ability to login to that server through a tunnel.

I think this would be a great idea.

However, in the meantime, you can do this and it seems to work ok.

ssh -l user-internet-server -L 7777:url-non-accessible-server.com:22 internet-server.com cat -

once logged in, you can setup esftp like this

server: localhost
port: 7777
username: user-nonaccessible-server
password: passwd-nonaccessible-server

with all the other details you want, it should work fine. It does for me.
