i recommend making a ~/.ssh/config file. there is a simple example at http://lookherefirst.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/a-simple-ssh-config-file/ and some info at http://kimmo.suominen.com/docs/ssh/#config or in the ssh manpage.

I use one to get to 2 severs behind NAT. the router is set to forward port 23 to one of them, and 25 to the other


Host server1
Hostname 1.2.3.4
Port 23
HostKeyAlias server1

Host server2
Hostname 1.2.3.4
Port 24
HostKeyAlias server2

Host *
Compression yes
ForwardX11 yes
EscapeChar ~



sshmenu-gnome should use the info

Putty is available on Linux as well as in the repos

One last question, how would i go about creating a dynamic socks proxy to route all traffic pointed to a particular point on the localhost through my ssh connection via the config file.

typically this is rather easy but i can't find anything that would let me know how to do this on the config file.
ssh -D alias/user@host(whatever you use)? Does this work?
