Always something new to learn, and my web search for 'configuring ssh port
and authentication on different networks' produced hits for Cisco routers,
putty, and basic one-network connections. Here's my situation; many of you
can teach me how to accesss both my own network from outside the office and
my new web site host's network from here.
Here, /etc/ssh/sshd_config uses a port number different from 22 and
publickey authentication using a passphrase.
NearlyFreeSpeech's ssh_host uses port 22 and password authentication.
man ssh suggests that I can use the option -L to bind the local port to
the remote port and get me to the correct destination. Is this correct? And
how do I specify the bind_address? Is that '.' to represent the host on
which I'm logged in? Or, do I use '-W' and specify the nfs.net host and port
22?
Do I also use the -A option ('Enables forwarding of the authentication
agent connection. This can also be specified on a per-host basis in a
configuration file.') If so how do I do this? I understand that I can set up
publickey authentication for my hosted web site. Would this be the most
pragmatic approach?
I want to get my web site files uploaded to the new host this weekend so
the IP address has time to propagate across all DNS servers by Monday.
TIA,
Rich
