Could anybody provide me some hint on it? Anyway, now to your question. I think you should use the ProxyCommand option for ssh. If A, B and C are fixed. You can put the folowing in your ~/.ssh/config. # using B as proxy to C Host C User useronC ProxyCommand ssh -q B nc %h 22 Host B User useronB This will let you do the following: $ ssh -X B $ ssh -X C -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
