Sftp in Mobaxterm

Sftp in Mobaxterm

How can i get in MobaXterm's sftp directory, current server's directory when entering in nested servers. For example: First login in server and from there connect to server . I want in sftp files bar(on the left) to see second server's user directories but i got the first ones. Is this possible?

What you describe here is called a jump-host-scenario.

Open a local terminal in mobaxterm and enter:

ssh -J   

After successful login you see hostb.foo's directory listing in the left sftp browser window.

For background, perhaps see also

This may not answer your question directly, but you can get around this problem by scp'ing the files from the second server to the first server. You can then sftp the files from the first server to your desktop or wherever.
