Connecting through a SSH Gateway (jump host)

#1 Post by eric1708 » 2021-12-04 06:08

Hi there,

I'm on windows 10, and I am connecting to a private linux server through a ssh tunnel (with a public/private key identification), but I am doing that through an other SSH gateway (jump host). All of this is defined in the "config" file in the .ssh directory. This works fine, and on a Windows console, I can simply launch a ssh to my server name and I'm connected, without entering a password, etc. Still on a Windows console, I can also simply launch a sftp to my server name and this is also working fine. So far so good.

I would like to establish the same sftp connection using filezilla, but I can't find how to indicate that I need to pass through a secondary ssh gateway (jump host). Can I simply ask filezilla to use the "config" file in the .ssh directory (as the native Windows sftp is doing), and - if yes - how to do that? If not, how can I then explain Filezilla how to establish the needed connection?

Any help on that will be more than welcomed.

Best, Eric.

This is not possible.

As an alternative, you can use SSH port forwarding.
