[X2Go-User] X2Go and ssh forwarding

[Andreas Yankopolus]

I was at first rather mystified by Mike's answer referencing SSH proxy tab, as I didn't see it in my X2Go client, but updating to 4.0.1.0 addressed that ;-)

The proxy option times out when I try it on my system. I'm not able to check "Show Details" during the connection attempt to track what's happening.

My connection from the OS X Terminal is:

$ ssh -X -A -t andreas at external.ip.address ssh -A -X andreas at internal.ip.address

I have internal.ip.address listed as the server in my connection preferences and andreas as the login. I've checked "Use Proxy server for SSH connection" in preferences and added external.ip.address as the host. "Same login as on X2Go Server" is checked. Passwords are different, so that's unchecked.
