File transfer over double SSH?

gumbald · 20 Apr 2008 at 19:08

Would like to get a .iso file from the file server inside the department, but it's hidden to the outside world. I can SSH into the gateway server, then from that SSH to the file server, but how can I transfer the file then back to my computer?

No, there's limits on that so people don't use it as a file dump. The file server has the unrestricted /tmp which gets wiped on reboot.

Yeah, a direct path between me and the destination, without having to use the storage on the middleman to copy the file twice.

Alas, no. I am but a humble student of the department.

What command would I use to mount my machine?

gumbald · 20 Apr 2008 at 19:43

Vista...

My Arch box is currently headless, so that would add another degree of complexity if I were to use that!

How do I forward port 22 when I have no control over the other two machines? This is getting complicated, yet there might only be one command...

I was hoping to be able to swipe multiple .iso files from MSDNAA while I'm still registered in the department. Might have to just take a box of blanks and spend a while there...

Can't use an external as they'll cry if I plug it in without being electrical tested.

It's a Vista image I want mainly, so not on dreamspark. Never been able to login to the MSDNAA website, guessing they've not put a copy of all our accounts on there. They just direct us to the file server on the technical pages.
