I'm just trying to use PuTTY to get an SSH connection to my servers. These servers allow incoming SSH connection only from another specific server ("MySshProxyingServer" in example below).
Using Linux this is no problem with the ssh -W command.
In PuTTY I can't find the options to create such a connection.
Example under Linux (~/.ssh/config):
Host MyHostToConnectTo Hostname xx.xx.xx.xx User root Identityfile ~/.ssh/id_rsa ProxyCommand ssh MySshProxyServer -W %h:%p Anyone knows how to use such a config in PuTTY?

PuTTY does not come with an SSH server. It can be used with Linux OpenSSH. For Windows and IBM z/OS mainframes, we recommend the Tectia SSH server.
The ProxyCommand itself is a specific command used to connect to a remote server—in the case of the earlier example, that would be the manual ssh command used to first connect to the bastion: $ ssh -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p bastion-host" remote-host.
The Tunnel provides you port forwarding from both sides. The first option shows you option to forward your local port to remote network to access there resources. You can also reverse the process and access resources of your local system from remote machine.
The equivalent in PuTTY is "local proxy command". You can use the plink.exe with the -nc switch instead of the ssh with the -W switch:
The "local proxy command" is:
plink.exe %user@%proxyhost -P %proxyport -nc %host:%port An alternative is to open a tunnel via the "MySshProxyServer" first using another instance of PuTTY (or Plink).
