If your remote computer is sitting behind a firewall, and you need to go through a sshgateway server, you can use a simple multi-hop instead of a tunnel. e.g.
Home_Computer-> SSH_Gateway -> Work_Computer
With plink on the command line:
plink -t -X -A username@SSH_Gateway ssh -X -A username@work_computer Or in Putty:
Hostname: SSH_Gateway
Data -> Auto-login username: username (for ssh gateway)
SSH -> Remote Command:
ssh -x -A username@work_computerAuth -> Check “Allow agent forwarding” if you are using Pageant
X11 -> Check “Enable X11 forwarding” if you want it.
What the options mean:
-t enable pty allocation (used so you can do the second ssh from gateway to the work computer)
-A agent forwarding (only needed if you are using Pageant or another key agent)
-X enable X11 forwarding (only needed if you want to send X11 back to your home computer)
If you want X11 on Windows, setup Xming and Bob’s your Uncle.
