Hi Brian and thanks for your answer.
Yes, that's what I want to do, from my local machine connect to a remote server,
once I open a session on that server, then connect to another server.
The thing is that when I do this from a Linux machine, it works fine.
I do not connect using my own user name but a special user name with read
privileges that the administrators of those servers have created, imagine that
the remote servers have created a user such as 'readonlyuser' with password
'simplepassword', that the first server is 'firstserver' and that the second
server is 'secondserver', then I connect as...
ssh readonlyuser AT firstserver
(when asked for the password we input 'simplepassword'
Now I'm connected to firstserver and from there I do...
ssh readonlyuser AT secondserver
(when asked for the password I input 'simplepassword'
This last part is the one I cannot get working, I don't know if I am making
sense here but it works from a Linux machine.
Any ideas?
