Jump hosts

Pro

To reach a server that is only accessible through another one, a bastion, the way ssh -J does it.

By Lucas Russo, developer of SSHive · Updated

  1. First create an SSH connection for the bastion, bastion.example.com, and check that it works.
  2. Edit the server you want to reach, Advanced options, Jump Chain (multi-hop).
  3. Add hop, and choose the bastion. Add further steps if you need them, up to 5; Move up and Move down change the order.
  4. The preview shows the path, bastion → internal. Save.

Each step connects with its own user and its own authentication. The status bar shows how many hops are in use. When it fails, the message says which step failed.
