As stated below, the -L option might work. Below are general ssh forwarding instructions, maybe you can adapt to your situation: ssh -l user -v -L2001:machine_behind_firewall_ip:22 firewall_machine In a different shell: ssh -l user -p 2001 localhost You should be in the "machine_behind_firewall_ip" You can also send commands: ssh -l user -p 2001 localhost ls Note: make sure nothing is using the local port you decide to use.
