SSH via HTTP Proxy

desertwind

I need to access ssh via an http proxy. We use an automatic proxy configuration url (pac file) for browsers. Any idea how to use it for ssh?

I suppose you don't have a root access to the server with ssh. Sad

If yes, just follow the first google link

Well I cant at least help you if we do not know how you plan to access the proxy. You did state that you/they use a proxy URL for browsers so i am just going to assume that you need to access this proxy with a browser. Now I use IE and Firefox

For SSH I do belive URL start with HTTPS://URL_HERE
For Firefox Version 2.0.0.3

Tools > Options Advanced

Then under the Connections Tab click SETTINGS
you will see at the bottom it says

" Automatic Proxy Configuration URL " now just pop in the link and it should works!

FOR IE ( Internet Explorer Version 7.0.5730.11)

Tools > Internet Options >

Connections >

****Click on LAN Settings
check the "Use Automatic Configuration Script"
type in the URL and you good to go

If you a XP user

Start > Control Panel

- If you are in category view then
Click on " Network and Internet Connections"
Internet Options
Connections >

****Click on LAN Settings
check the "Use Automatic Configuration Script"
type in the URL and you good to go

- If you in Classic View

Click On " Internet Options "

Connections >

****Click on LAN Settings
check the "Use Automatic Configuration Script"
type in the URL and you good to go

I do not use any other browser so if you use a different sorry this could not help you
