I'm trying to set up an sftp on a networked server. I can access the machine through the outside world by first ssh'ing into a network login server through the following process:

ssh [network-username]@login.server.co.uk

then, once logged in

ssh [server-username]@[hostname]

Is there anyway to sftp into the networked server? I cant find a way to add the initial step into the login process.

Thanks!

You have not specified what SFTP client you are using.

In general, some SFTP clients DO allow SSH tunneling.

WinSCP for instance.
See Connect to FTP/SFTP server which can be accessed via another server only.

OpenSSH suite allows that too. For example see Forward SSH traffic through a middle machine.
