Net::SSH to login into a server with a public key

[Ad Ad]

Hi,
I have a remote server B which can only accessed via server A through a
public key.

Is there a way to do this in net/ssh ?

I have started an SSH session for A

Net::SSH.start("ServerA","username",assword=>"xyz") do |ssh|
#is there a way to now login into B?
#In putty I just do: ssh B and I am in
end

thanks.

Take a look at Net::SSH::Gateway:
http://github.com/jamis/net-ssh-gateway/tree/master

And here's a wrapper that takes care of the details (which is really
useful if the environment gets more complex):

Yes it's very simple.
http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org/ssh/v2/api/index.html

I have started an SSH session for A

Net::SSH.start("ServerA","username",assword=3D>"xyz") do |ssh|

Net::SSH.start("ServerA","username",:keys=3D>["~/.ssh/id_rsa"]) do |ssh|

#is there a way to now login into B?
#In putty I just do: ssh B and I am in
end
