The New Way
Sometimes, however, you may want to avoid the two-step process, or you may be on a host that doesn’t have all the tools you need for SOCKS connections.
The newÂ
-J (akaÂProxyJump) command is tailor-made for you! Here’s the basic invocation:ssh -J your.jump.host remote.internal.hostYou’ll end up logged into the remote internal host, and ssh automatically takes care of the intermediate step of logging into the jump host first.
You can even use it as an option for secure file copies:
scp -o 'ProxyJump your.jump.host' myfile.txt remote.internal.host:/my/dirThe fileÂ
myfile.txt will end up in theÂ/my/dir directory on your remote internal host.
