I am trying to set up a ssh connection through a jump host. It should go like this A -> B -> C. I can connect fine from A to B and from B to C but I would like to have a single connection from A to C directly (I want to use some tools over ssh.)
I'm on mac OSx. These command work fine:
ssh hostB
and then from hostB
ssh hostC
or
ssh -t hostB ssh hostC
I am able to get on hostC.
I have another tunnel set up to a cluster and it works fine.
ssh cluster
This is my .ssh/config file:
Host hostB
Hostname xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
User userB
ForwardAgent yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_macbook_air
Host cluster
Hostname clusterHostname
User clusterUser
ProxyCommand ssh hostB -W %h:%p
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Host hostC
Hostname xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
User userC
ProxyCommand ssh hostB -W %h:%p
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_macbook_air
Host *+*
ProxyCommand ssh -W $(echo %h | sed 's/^.*+//;s/^\([^:]*$\)/\1:22/') $(echo %h | sed 's/+[^+]*$//;s/\([^+%%]*\)%%\([^+]*\)$/\2 -l \1/;s/:\([^:+]*\)$/ -p \1/')
I get the following error when I try to connect to hostC:
ssh hostC -v
OpenSSH_6.9p1, LibreSSL 2.1.8
debug1: Reading configuration data /Users/userC/.ssh/config
debug1: /Users/userC/.ssh/config line 28: Applying options for hostC

I get the same output when I run:
ssh -l userC userB%hostB+hostC
I don't have and cannot install netcat or any other software on hostB.
I have full access on my start machine and on hostC.
Thank you for your help!

There is a
ProxyJump
attribute in ssh as well. Have you tried the following config?
