Edit code via remote gateway with emacs

Question

I know that it's possible to edit code on the remote server with emacs and scp. I use tramp for this. For example it is described here: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000983.html

But is it possible to edit code via remote gateway with emacs? That means that to access the code one has to login to gateway server first and then login to other server.

Answer 1

I think the keyword you are missing is "Multi Hops". It is possible to do this with TRAMP; you'll find all the details in the relevant manual sections :

• Gateway Methods
• Multi hops

For example:

;; ensure `tramp-default-proxies-alist' is defined before we append to it
(require 'tramp)

;; Add the proxy rule
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             '("server2\\.blabla\\.de" nil "/ssh:server1.blabla.de:"))
