Simple SSH over Back To My Mac
December 3, 2010
If you use Back To My Mac, and often ssh to your machines, you can save a lot of typing by adding the following to your ~/.ssh/config file[1]:
Host *.«account»
ProxyCommand /usr/bin/nc -6 "%h".members.mac.com %p
From that point on, you can ssh to your machines with:
ssh «machine».«account»
For instance, I have a machine called “ccox-imac”, and I can ssh to it with:
ssh ccox-imac.clarkcox3
And this also works with anything that sits atop of ssh, such as
- git –
git clone ccox-imac.clarkcox3:/somerepo.git - svn –
svn co svn+ssh://ccox-imac.clarkcox3/somesvnrepo - bbedit –
bbedit sftp://ccox-imac.clarkcox3//etc/sshd_config
- where «account» is your MobileMe account name [↩]
