I have three computers, A, B, C. A is the computer I'm working on, C is the remote computer I'd like to access. However C can only be accessed through B. Only B has a ssh server, and only A has a ssh client.
What command am I to use (preferably on A) so that I can connect to C (port 80) through B ? For example B should forward all incoming port 12345 to C:80.
I know this is a common question and I found a ton of commands on google but none seemed to work.
Once it is set up, I'm supposed to just use localhost:5678 on A, which connects to B:1234, and then forwards to C:80.
Thanks.

It might be that the
sshd
daemon is set to disallow port-forwarding to other machines or to disallow port-forwarding at all. Anyway, the correct command to issue atA
to accessC
at port 80 as follows:After the
ssh
session is established you connect to localhost:5678 to get connected to C:80. If you wish any inbound connection to the host A:5678 be forwarded to C:80, then removelocalhost:
from the command above.If the port-forwarding to other hosts is disabled at
B
, then you could try the chaining, described here
