Squid provides the CONNECT HTTP method for this type of thing. Setting the system http_proxy environment variable may make scp use that proxy as a gateway. If not you are probably out of luck. scp is intended to be very simple and easy to use for end-to-end encrypted links. Adding squid to the equation breaks that. > > Idealy I would like to place an entry in the .ssh/config file so that when > I type : ssh fred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx it will automatically sent to squid and > then forwarded to port 22 on the 130.222.222.222. > > The internal machine is a UNIX box. > > Are there any particular settings in the squid.conf that I have to enter > and has anyone ideas for the .ssh/config file? Check the proxy capabilities of your programs (ssh, scp, whatever) they need to be capable of transport over HTTP-proxy. If they do configure it and set whatever ports they need to CONNECT to, to both the Safe_ports and SSL_ports ACL. If they don't support transport over HTTP-proxy thats the end of it. Amos
