Bot linking and userfile sharing through SSH!

[PreRunnerBri]

I have two bots which are both firewalled and cannot be telnet'd to in anyway. Is there a way to get them to link and share userfiles using SSH. If ya kno, could u please describe how it is done and what would be needed in order to do it correctly...Thanks in advance!

Never did it myself but, you that is what you have to do in general.

on the Leaf-Bot's Box initiate a ssh-connection with the following..

Code: Select all

ssh -f -L <some-avail-localport>:127.0.0.1:<hubbot's-port> <user>@<hub's-box-address>

-f Forks the ssh-client to the background and -L opens a port on the calling box, that redirects everything it gets to the hub's port.

Now you add your bot with

Code: Select all

.+bot <hub> 127.0.0.1:<some-avail-localport-you-just-defined-above>

Tell me if it worked
