hello

 

run opensuse 13.1 :: and i have access to a server via sftp:

 

question: can a friend tunnel from another computer to mine so that he can use my sftp-client on my machine!?

is this possible!?

In other words: we have a situation where I have a SSH/SFTP access from my workstation to a server

Now a friend - livin somewhere else should use this access - which only works from my machine:

 

Note the server is not (!!) directly accessable from his workstation.

 

What is needed: We need to have ssh access from his computer to mine - so that he can then ssh to the server in question.

 

 

How can I accomplish this?

 

idea: Why can we not just ssh from #1 to console on #2 then ssh from machine #2 to console 3 within the session?

 

hmm: this is called "leapfrogging"
