ssh_forward_host Property

The address of the remote host. Domain names are resolved to IP addresses.

Syntax

def get_ssh_forward_host() -> str: ...
def set_ssh_forward_host(value: str) -> None: ...

ssh_forward_host = property(get_ssh_forward_host, set_ssh_forward_host)

Default Value

Remarks

The ssh_forward_host property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or Domain Name of the remote host. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established.

If the ssh_forward_host property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated, and upon successful termination of the request, the ssh_forward_host property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If the class is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with an "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.
