Re: [PLUG] "ssh -X" through multiple hops

You can use ssh port forwarding to forward a port on your local computer to your ssh port on the box inside of your firewall.

Example:
me@somewhere >ssh -L 8080:boxinsidehome:22 me@firewall

This forwards port 8080 on your local machine through your firewall to port 22 on 'boxinsidehome'. From there, you can:
me@somewhere >ssh -X me2@localhost -p 8080

This last line initiates an SSH connection directly with 'boxinsidehome' over the SSH tunnel that we established from the first example. You could throw in any other SSH options that you might normally use, such as compression, etc etc.

HTH,
