Re: ssh ProxyCommand not finding anything to execute


Thanks for your reply Jason.
I have also tried putting it in a config file but it had the same result.  I
ended up using the command-line just because I could be sure that it was
using correct parameter.

I did look at corkscrew, however I couldn't find a precompiled download.  I
know I can compile it but I dont have a full cygwin install, and I am trying
to make it as simple for other people to follow.

I know I must be doing something really simply wrong, but I just can't think
what it is!

Thanks again.
