how can I legally traverse my local firewall?

[agenol]

Hi all,

I work behind a firewall but I'm autorized to traverse it as part of muy duties. I usually use my HPUX box to do so but how can I do it on myt Fedora Core 5 box?

Is this a configurable service or what?

Thanks!

What kind of service you working with? telnet, ssh, ftp, many others.
To make sure I understand you are wanting to connect to and internal server from the outside from home lets say and have to go through the firewall.

Hi Brian1,

I have at least telnet (un-supported isnt it?), ssh, ftp a sftp.

I usually use socksified services on my HPUX workstation but I have no idea how to get this rolling on Fedora C5 and I'd like to start. I interact with Unix based systems beyond the local firewall so the utilites as ssh and other are perfect for me.

Thanks!

Ok if understand then what you need to do is open the ssh port of 22 on the firewall and portforward that to an internal machine. Correct?

Once at a certain machine then you can ssh or whatever to the rest of the system from there.
