SFTP/SCP through Bastion about the-bastion HOT 6 CLOSED

Yes there is, for SCP.

Even if all the needed information is in the above documentation of the scp plugin, this should probably get a specific howto documentation page with examples. The key takeaways are:

• One should have SSH access through the bastion (via personal or group access) to some host to be able to scp from/to it
• One should also have the explicit scp access to this host, via the same way that its SSH access to it (personal or group), those kind of accesses can be added/removed with --scpup and --scpdown (instead of --user) in the groupAddServer and accountAddPersonalAccess commands
• One must get its personalized scp script by running the --osh scp plugin
• Then use scp with the script, scp -S ~/scriptpath <usual scp commands>

As i read/understand it correct the solutions is primary for linux workstations.
Do you have a workaround/suggestion for windows workstations?

You're right , I already have checked and SCP works fine from the command line.

Exactly, I would also like to know if Windows, specially clients like WinSCP are supported or not.

Correct, I was explaining this with the command line in mind.
From Windows, it should also work out of the box from WSL (through Ubuntu or any other Linux OS installable under WSL).

Unfortunately I'm not expecting this to work with WinSCP or other similar software, as I see no way of "hooking" into its SSH negociation to handle the bastion stuff under the hood. This is what the -S command-line option of scp is for, and AFAIK it's not implemented in any Windows GUI apps.

This is now part of the documentation.
