Re: [ptp-dev] Connect to Amazon EC2 through proxy server

I think this would make a very useful FAQ, hint, hint:

John’s solution of putting all of my proxy parameters in the text field worked for me. To handle the .pem file, I used the SSH2 Preferences. In the General tab, add the .pem file to the Private keys text field.

Doug, do you still want me to file a bug?

Thanks for all of your help.

It’s certainly not easy to do now. But we should be supporting as many arguments to ssh as we can, like the –i option. Could you raise a bug on that?

Hi Taylor

I have a similar connection, which differs from yours as follows:

1) port 22 in the "Port" textbox

2) "Local" rather than "Remote" for the command

3) has the entire proxy command in the last textbox:  (e.g. “corkscrew <proxy-hostname> 3128 %h %p”)

I don't need a .pem file, though, so am not sure how to handle that.

John,

I have with some confusion. I assume that in the New Connection dialog the Host Information should be for the EC2 instance, and in the Advanced section, I need to enter the proxy information. I have attached a screenshot of my New Connection dialog.

Hi

Have you tried using the proxy command support under the hidden "Advanced" section on

the new connection dialog?

PTP developers,

I sent this to the ptp-user list earlier this week, but haven’t received a response yet. I thought I might have better luck on this list instead. Sorry for disrespecting this list’s purpose.

I am trying to use the PTP remote connection preference page to create a connection to an Amazon Web Services Elastic Cloud 2 (EC2) instance from Eclipse. SSH connections to EC2 instances require a .pem file for authentication. Additionally, I need to go through a proxy server to create off network connections. These requirements result in an ssh connection command of the form:

ssh -i <pem-filename>.pem -o ProxyCommand=“corkscrew <proxy-hostname> 3128 %h %p” ec2-user@xxxxxx.address

Has anyone done this previously or have any pointers on how I can accomplish this in PTP’s remote system tools?

Taylor
