follow me...
box A (a web server) is at location A and can only be logged into from a box at location B (for security). all of the boxes at location

the sweetest things about ssh/terminals is that i can be on laptop C
anywhere, ssh into box B1, ssh into box B2 (a file server), and then
transfer files from B2 to A.
my question is... what do you need to do to transfer files straight from laptop C to box A? i think that the ability to transfer between
these two boxes, as if they were connected on to the other, without
the other stops (boxes) between, is possible, but don't have any
idea how. is this what tunneling is called?
how do you do that?
If you can do that then why bother to restrict the webserver to logins from location B? The whole point of isolating it is to isolate it. If you can get there directly it's not really isolated is it? (If you think I'm wrong it's because you didn't specify which protocols are being used where, so I've assumed scp or sftp.)
Having to enter more passwords doesn't make a system more secure IMHO. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
