File transfer through second SSH?

gumbald · 8 Jan 2007 at 12:15

Not sure where the best place to put this was, but here goes...

I can SSH to the main server but not the ISO server externally. However, once logged into main server, I can then SSH to ISO server.

So, how can I transfer I file back to my computer, from the ISO server?

Unless the ISO server has some kind of FTP or WWW service running, i 'm not sure if you actually can transfer the file through.

The SSH only creates a secure tunnel to that server, it's up to other software what's done with that.

I use VNC over SSH to gain access to the company server. Maybe a newer version of VNC supports file transfer?

You may be able to relay scp commands via a pipe, failing that the only way to do it would be to scp it to some form of scratch space on the gateway server and then scp it from there to your external machine

Didn't think it would be simple, I'll just have to wait until tomorrow for my Vista ISO then

They haven't sent me my key yet, so can't install it anyway
