Hello,
I'm trying to figure out if ssh can help me with tunneling http over my
firewall. I have a dmz-style firewall with a web server behind it. Can
an outside individual gain access to that web server over ssh? Here's a
diagram of the machines a,b,c, and d.
outside outside inside web
machine <----> firewall <----> firewall <---> server
a b c d
Now, a user on the outside machine (a) can use ssh to gain access directly to
the web server (d) like this:
# ssh b ssh c ssh d
that works great for a shell session.
Now how can I run a web connection over this? ssh has the ability to
forward local ports to remote ports, but I can't figure out if that
works over multiple ssh connections like I have. I want to do something
like (from machine a):
# ssh -L 1234:d:80 ssh b ssh c
So that traffic from local port 1234 ends up on port 80 of the web
server.
However, I haven't had much luck getting that to work. I suspect I
don't fully understand the port forwarding in ssh.
Any ideas? Is this possible?
I'm running OpenSSH 1.2.24 on RedHat 6.0.
P.
