SFTP through ssh node

I'm trying to set up an sftp on a networked server. I can access the machine through the outside world by first ssh'ing into a network login server through the following process:

ssh [network-username]@login.server.co.uk

then, once logged in

ssh [server-username]@[hostname]

Is there anyway to sftp into the networked server? I cant find a way to add the initial step into the login process.

Thanks!

Solution

  • You have not specified what SFTP client you are using.

    In general, some SFTP clients DO allow SSH tunneling.

    WinSCP for instance.
    See Connect to FTP/SFTP server which can be accessed via another server only.

    OpenSSH suite allows that too. For example see Forward SSH traffic through a middle machine.
