I can't test the shfs part - I tried shfs out a while back, liked it, but got rid of it since I never really seemed to use it. But the ssh part is easy: just use port forwarding (assuming you have ssh access to B; if not, you're out of luck). Using your example, you'll need to do something like: ssh -L8022:C:22 B Port 8022 on your local machine A is now a tunnel to port 22 (the ssh port) on C. You should be able to mount directories from C on A, by pointing shfs at port 8022 on A. Something like: shfsmount -P 8022 A:/remotedir /mnt/mountpoint This all assumes your user name is the same on all machines. If not, just specify the appropriate user name before the host names. E.g. shfsmount -P 8022 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/remotedir /mnt/mountpoint where "user" is your user name on machine C, *not* A, because you're in fact tunnelling to C with this command.
