SSH download/upload problem SSH Tunnels

[r_ssh]

Our system admin has moved on to bigger and better things. I am watching over the system until his position is filled. For now I need to upload/download some files. I hope someone can give me some guidance. I have no manual are notes from our old admin to help with this issue.

Layout: Main internet line comes into machine (1) then load balances to machine (2) & (3). Those two machines then feed back to a cluster of more servers. These are all linux boxes but using different versions of linux. The first is using gentoo with PAM.

Problem: I can ssh into machine (1) upload/download files no problem, I can ssh into machine (2) & (3) using the command “ssh anything.privateurl.com -p 2201” no problem. But when I try to upload/download files using plugins with mindterm it only shows the files on machine (1) regardless of which machine I have ssh over to.

So I can surf, execute commands in all the other machines, I just cannot seem to download/upload anything past machine (1).

I have tried mindterm, putty, ws_ftp, and cannot seem to upload/download files on these backend servers. Machine (1) has the assigned ip address, rest have submask like 192.168.1.1, 192168.1.2, etc. So the only remote access is by going thru machine (1).

Any suggestions how I can uoload/download files on those backend servers? I'm thinking SSH tunnels could be the answer, but have never done a tunnel before. And I'm no system admin...

Hi Robert,

Try using something like WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php) and be sure to specify port 2201.

Cheers,

I do not think that will resolve his issue. he is ssh'ing from machine (X)
to machine (1), followed by an ssh to machine (2). I do not think you can
copy files from machine (X) to machine (2) easily given that configuration.

one solution might be to port forward on machine (1) to machine (2) and ssh
to machine (2) directly from machine (X)... note that this will require
machine (2) to be locked down since it will be available to the public side
of the network.

It sounds to me like you need to tell mindterm to use port 2201...
Probably it's using port 22 since that's the default SSH port.
