I'm trying to figure out how to use X2Go to connect with a machine at a private IP address via a public ssh server. I'm currently using ssh authentication forwarding to get to that machine:
ssh -A -t andreas@public.ip.address ssh -A andreas@private.ip.address
Thanks,
Andreas

SSH agent forwardings are only supported by the Python X2Go Client
named PyHoca-GUI. X2Go Client does not support forwarding of agent
auth requests.

Mike,
SSH agent forwardings are only supported by the Python X2Go Client named PyHoca-GUI. X2Go Client does not support forwarding of agent auth requests.
It's not looking like PyHoca-GUI plays well with OS X. Is it possible to set up port forwarding manually and point X2Go at localhost when connecting? Or maybe there's some other option?
Thanks,
Andreas

Aftern thinking it through, you should be able to use the SSH proxy
feature (Connection tab of X2Go Client). Configure the
public.ip.address as the SSH proxy and the private.ip.address as X2Go
Host. Enable SSH Agent authentication for both target machines (SSH
Proxy, X2Go Host).

As I remember, this feature is not very well tested, I've come across the usage in the codebase... only thing I can recall is that the informations were not really used already.
If anything is not working there, tell us Andreas, I think I might be able to help then ;)

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@external.ip.address ssh -A -X andreas@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.

Could you try to use the client from the console and list the output? Maybe we can get somewhere with the printouts...?!
Greetings, Kjellski
P.S.: @Mike, I've further improved the debugging on my clone of the client, should I try to merge that into upstream and let you have a look?

I tried running the client from /Applications/Utilities/x2goclient.app/Contents/MacOS and get the following:
start new ssh connection to server: "internal.ip.address" : "22" krb: false
"Can not connect to internal.ip.address:22" - "Timeout connecting to localhost"
Listening via Wireshark shows a flurry of activity as my computer opens an SSHv2 connection to the proxy that I configured as external.ip.address.
I'm not seeing a command-line switch for verbose output.
—Andreas
Did some more poking around with this. Console output consists of:
ONMainWindow constructor
Can't load translator (:/x2goclient_en_us) !
Can't load translator :/qt_en_US ONMainWindows constructor finished, home Directory is: "/Users/ayank"
read 2 sessions from config file start new ssh connection to server: "private.ip.address" : "22" krb: false
"Can not connect to private.ip.address:22" - "Timeout connecting to localhost"
I'm attempting to connect to a computer at public.ip.address via a proxy server to get at private.ip.address. I've verified that I can do this on the ssh command line.

Deleted and re-entered the config on my end and was able to pull up the remote desktop. Connection forwarding on OS X works!
