How to sftp through proxy server?

tsunix-pdm-1 — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 08:53:23 GMT

Hello,

I want to establish an sftp connection from an HPUX 11.11 system to an ftp server through Socks v4 proxy server but I don't realize how to do it.
As I've read, I tried with old "nc" program, but I got no results. Also, I tried to get "connect" program but I am unable to find it. Does anyone know how to do such connection?

Kind Regards,

...cannot find the solution...

That really isn't helpful in finding a solution for you. Perhaps if you posted what you tried and the actual error messages..

Note that you may be blocked from using the proxy server. Have you asked your network administrator about blocked and allowed users? Perhaps the socks server will not pass ssh/sftp through. How about checking the socks server's logs -- they can reveal why you are not getting through.

Hi,

At last I've found how to do it by using the "connect" program with "-o ProxyCommand" of ssh/sftp. The netcat program for HP-UX is not useful for this kind of connection.

Thank you for your help and time !

Kind Regards,
