Adding +the following line to your ~/.ssh/config file will usually do +the trick (replace proxy.example.com and 8080 with correct values): + +ProxyCommand /usr/bin/corkscrew proxy.example.com 8080 %h %p + +Basic HTTP authentication is also supported, you will need to create a file +that contains your usename and password +in the form of: + +username:password + +I suggest you place this file in your ~/.ssh directory. +After creating this file you will need to ensure that the proper perms +are set so nobody else can get your username and password by reading +this file. So do this: + +chmod 600 ~/.ssh/myauth + +Now you will have to change the ProxyCommand line in your ~/.ssh/config +file. Here's an example: + +ProxyCommand /usr/bin/corkscrew proxy.work.com 80 %h %p ~/.ssh/myauth + +The proxy authentication feature is very new and has not been tested +extensively so your mileage may vary. |
