Im fairly new to unix/linux and have a question while trying to ssh tunnel

  • 0

Im fairly new to unix/linux and have a question while trying to ssh tunnel to a computer at my college.

Im trying to access computer A which is on my school network. But it cannot be accessed unless i am already insice the school network. I can ssh into computer B and then ssh into computer A. Lets say computer C is only accessible via computer B, how would i make a shell script that would do this for me?

So far i tunneled to computer A via B but cannot get to C.
I tried this 

    ssh -t user@computerB 'ssh user@computerA' 'ssh user@computerC'
    sh -t user@computerB "ssh user@computerA 'ssh user@computerC'"

What am i doing wrong

    Seems to be working for me. Apparently you have to use -t to force ptty allocation for each jump:

    jcomeau@intrepid:~/rentacoder/peppe/dentalcam$ ssh -t www "ssh -t tek 'ssh -t www'"
Linux unixshell.jcomeau.com 2.6.18.8 #1 SMP Mon Nov 22 15:26:09 EST 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
