Re: sftp connect to remote host via proxy

Hi Kapil,

The ssh is able to accept the connections but i don't know the proper command to execute to connect to the remote host (which is the external server) via proxy server.
This is for our business requirement.

When i checked with our N/W team they said that they have successfully established the connection to remote host using FileZilla but i don't know what is the command in HP-UX to connect.

Kindly help me.

Thank you.

Hi Swetha,

download corkscrew from site http://www.ifost.org.au/Software/

unpack software and compile it

#sh configure --host=-hpux

#make install


add below lines to ~/.ssh/config file (for proxy without authentication)

ProxyCommand /usr/local/bin/corkscrew %h %p

if your proxy need authentication , update your ~/.ssh/config like below


ProxyCommand /usr/local/bin/corkscrew %h %p ~/.ssh/myauth

And add username and password in the ~/.ssh/myauth file in the below format

:



run ssh or sftp as normal and it will proxied through your mentioned proxy server in the config file


regards!

Hi Narayana


If they use Filezzila .


sftp should work.

You need to have ssh installed in the client side.


The try and post the output of the following command:

sftp name_server.
