With this setup you may be prompt for MFA-duo authentication only on the first session. Subsequently multiple ssh sessions can be started on cedar without MFA. This also works fine to get remote shells on cedar from several apps running natively on Windows. I already tried for WinSCP, but we can assume if will work for other apps with some tweaks. | With this setup you may be prompt for MFA-duo authentication only on the first session.

However, what I'm realizing now is that on those very same Windows apps I'm not able to list/display the contents of the local Windows drives. Instead they all show the contents of the ubuntu relay server, which may not be what users want. In the most generic case they would like to transfer files directly between Windows and cedar, and not between Ubuntu and cedar. In any case, users may still see the contents of the Windows host mounted as the /mnt file system on Ubuntu. | However, what I'm realizing now is that on those very same Windows apps I'm not able to list/display the contents of the local Windows drives.

I'm also trying to understand how to setup scp directly from Windows to cedar. | I'm also trying to understand how to setup scp directly from Windows to cedar. | ||
