Hi,
In my work we log into a unix box for authentication, from which we can
then ssh into our production boxes - they are not accessible with our
standard credentials. Is there a way currently that RSE can be used so
that we establish a connection to the authentication box, then ssh to a
production box and still get the benefits of RSE (Tree file structure,
file editing etc.) for the subsequent boxes? If not, a nudge in the right
direction code wise would not go unwelcomed :-)
Thanks,
Tim

Thanks Steve,
the tunneling trick should indeed fix the issue. I'd also like to add
that since RSE 3.1M5, there is better support for the files cache in
case multiple tunnels are used on localhost with different ports:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=245260
Some similar command for setting up an SSH tunnel are also near the end
of the dstore userdocs for setting up a server:

You could build a tunnel to the production box on a non-standard local
port and aim RSE at that. A command line ssh example tunneling from
port 8701 on the localhost through the authentication box to the
production box would look like
$ ssh -l authbox_username -L8701:productionbox:22 authenticationbox
Now set up an RSE SSH connection for localhost and adjust the port by
right-clicking the localhost SFTP files item in the tree, selecting
properties and entering 8701 in the port number. Now you can connect
all the way through. When RSE asks you to login use the productionbox
credentials.
HTH,
Steve
