Please describe the problem.
I am using a ssh-host configured in .ssh/config in a corporate-environment like this:
Host home
Hostname 1.2.3.4
Port 443
ProxyCommand corkscrew proxy.fqdn 8080 %h %p ~/.authfile
# http://www.agroman.net/corkscrew/
I now want to be able to add this host as a remote repository, but don't have the ability to add it. A tunnel to localhost would be possible but then I would have to setup this portforwarding for git-annex separately every time it is started.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Add a remote host that is only reachable through a proxy.
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
gentoo git-annex-5.20141125 {+assistant +cryptohash +dbus +desktop-notify +dns +feed +inotify +pairing +production +quvi +s3 +tahoe +tdfa +testsuite +webapp +webapp-secure +webdav +xmpp}
Is it possible to use this predefined host, or add the possibility to configure git-annex like above?
That will work fine as a git remote using that hostname.
git remote add home home:path
The webapp isn't currently aware of hostnames configured via .ssh/config, so it cannot be set up using the webapp.
