Hi

I'm trying to connect via ssh to my remote server using mc this way:

cd /#sh:user@server

but I only receive ssh connections over port != 22 (iptables)

Q1.- after googling I realized that is not a port option to do this. It's that correct?

Q2.- (less important) how execute sudo on the remote server using mc?

TIA.-

AFAIK there's no port option in mc's FISH. Maybe you could set up a SSH tunnel outside of mc and use that?


Using mc I wouldn't know. It clearly says "can't run commands on nonlocal filesystems".

thanks unSpawn

As I know mc could not use specific port, but you can cheat it. It is Linux, isn't it?

As mc uses system ssh, you need to work with ssh, not with mc.
Go to /home/user/.ssh/ and create there file "config" if not existed. Then write there specific section for each host you work with regulary:

host vistafail
user root
hostname vistaepicfail.microsoft.com
port 6666

Now you could connect to host
[user@localhost]#ssh vistafail
ssh will do other work - ssh root@vistaepicfail.microsoft.com -p 6666, the same in mc - open shell link and enter "vistafail"

I am not sure if such host existed, but method works

so time ago! your solution is great.

since the most of the time I work with ftp accounts of clients I use .netrc for automatic login:

but only works for ftp (from inside mc too). I'll try your suggestion for my own VPS.
thank very much yeugeniuss!

nomikos.-

Happy to say that at this time, midnight commander already have port specific support.
In shell link enter data in this format:
