We need to make SFTP connection to download file through SOCKS proxy.
Trying below way but it's not working.
sftp -o ProxyCommand='/usr/bin/nc -v -xexamplesocksproxy.com:1080 %h %p' user@remote
We do have user name and password for SOCKS proxy authentication but not sure where to put it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Imo, nc does not support authentication.
You will need to use another implementation. For example the ncat with its --proxy-auth switch.
According to Is there a built-in way to proxy SSH through socks5?, this should do:
sftp -o ProxyCommand='ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy-auth username:password --proxy examplesocksproxy.com:1080 %h %p' user@remote
