Re: [X2Go-User] X2Go fails to connect when SSH config contains multiple jump hosts

Hi Ulrich, Your comments pointed me in the right direction. The trick is indeed to use "ProxyCommand" instead of the more modern "ProxyJump" which doesn't seem to be supported by X2Go/libssh, yet.

On my Ubuntu 20.10 machine the following worked for me:

Host foo ForwardAgent yes ProxyCommand ssh -YJ user1@first.example.com,user2@second.example.com -W %h:%p user3@foo.example.com

Users on older machines might want to check if their SSH client supports the -J argument. If it's not supported a carefully crafted chain of ssh invocations might be required.

Thanks a lot!

Martin
