ssh help

[Fritz]

trying to use a home app from my work (firewalled by a big corp) Mac.
Are these clowns that smart that they have blocked every way in?
Tried TeamViewer, screenshare, ssh.
So I'm thinking, maybe it's me and I have to port forward at home?
Any ssh knowledgeable types here have some help?

tried:
ssh -l user@###.##.###.###

If you're firewalled at home, it's that 'last meter' that's getting you. Setting up a DMZ and port forwarding should do it. Of course... you ARE taking a risk that others can get in.

Now for the corporate IT guy question.... are you SURE you want to bypass their safeguards and risk your job ? Perhaps asking if you can get a local license for the software ? Or use their *approved* remote control application environment ? Every corp has holes through their firewall. They are rare, and require permission from 'god' to get, but they are there.

thanks
and ......... good point. ............ dammit!

They may have blocked every port and are working off a "whitelist" approach as to what is allowed.

Forwarding port 22 should do it. No need for DMZ.
