Hi Brian and thanks for your answer. Yes, that's what I want to do, from my local machine connect to a remote server, once I open a session on that server, then connect to another server. The thing is that when I do this from a Linux machine, it works fine. I do not connect using my own user name but a special user name with read privileges that the administrators of those servers have created, imagine that the remote servers have created a user such as 'readonlyuser' with password 'simplepassword', that the first server is 'firstserver' and that the second server is 'secondserver', then I connect as... ssh readonlyuser@firstserver (when asked for the password we input 'simplepassword' Now I'm connected to firstserver and from there I do... ssh readonlyuser@secondserver (when asked for the password I input 'simplepassword' This last part is the one I cannot get working, I don't know if I am making sense here but it works from a Linux machine.
