SSH through proxy?

FrayAdjacent · 07-07-2005, 10:41 PM

From work, I can SSH into my Linux 'server' at home through PuTTY on an XP machine, but I have to give it the proxy authentication.

What is the syntax for the SSH command from a shell prompt on a Linux machine to authenticate through a proxy to get out?

Currently, I put in

ssh -p 443 66.68.xx.xx

(I have it listening on 443, as just about every other port is blocked by the aforementioned proxy)

Once I can get through the proxy to SSH into my home Linux box, I'll play with it from there (remote X applications and such)

i'd second proxytunnel. spent a while finding something decent, but it works fine for me too.

So proxytunnel just lets me get through the proxy so I can then SSH to a machine outside? I'll give it a try on Monday.
