arita37 commented 4 years ago

Excellent work, thanks for your initiative,

Sometimes. server is behind a step up login sever.

If you can enable through a step up access.

Thanks

can you elaborate on what you mean by a step-up server? do you mean a bastion server? as in

ClientSSH > User@Bastion > User@Server

where it acts as a middleman to allow extra security? this would only be possible via a master ssh connection like what is already done, but would need some more work i think.

Yes

This scheme middle server for extra security

Can you rename the issue to "Feature: Add Bastion server Support"? so that this makes more sense to people looking at the issue name?

and also i have experienced this issue as well

If I'm understanding correctly, I've been doing this for a while. In your SSH config, simply use a ProxyJump. In this example tj is the bastion (ClientSSH > tj > snowy). Then just sshcode snowy.

The only problem with this is that you have to enter your password for tj and snowy, but this is expected as ssh snowy does the same.
