Is there a way to use ssh to get through a firewall for remote access to a system? The situation I'm looking at is a Fedora system sitting behind a company firewall, which I have no control over, that I wish to gain access to by logging into it over the Internet from a remote computer. In other words the connection is initiated from outside of the firewalled company network.
What I'm thinking is using ssh to forward a port, 3389, to another computer on my own private network (also behind a firewall and NAT router) at home acting as a middle man. Then from another computer, lets say at a hotel, logging in to the same computer on my private home network and have it pass traffic bidirectionaly between the two end point computers. Is this something than can be done using ssh and if so how? I would also like to have the remote Fedora system connection to the middle man computer remain even if the remote computer is not connected. Regards, Leland C.
