From outside of the University of Eastern Finland network people have to use codon.uef.fi –SSH Gateway server for to be able to connect the new Isilon storage of IT Centre. This guide will provide two ways for both Unix machines and for the Windows machines on how to do it easily.

Add following lines to $HOME/.ssh/config

  Host intron.uef.fi
  ProxyCommand ssh uefad-id@codon.uef.fi nc %h %p

Then change the permissions of the $HOME/.ssh/config file

  $ chmod 600 $HOME/.ssh/config

Then you can directly connect to the intron.uef.fi with sftp / scp tool.

  $ sftp uefad-id@intron.uef.fi
  $ ssh uefad-id@intron.uef.fi
