I have accounts on 2 other machines machine 1: 172.16.68.1 and machine 2: 172.16.68.3 i use ssh to login to machine 1.

I am unable to directly ssh to machine to but once i have logged in in machine 1, i am able to login using ssh to machine 2.

Is there a way i can directly ssh to machine 2?

Or at least i need a way to use the connect to server option to login to machine 2, because the login to machine 1 then login to machine 2 works via the terminal, but it won't work via the connect to server option. I need a gui way to browse machine 2, open files via sublime in my current machine etc.

Any suggestions?

EDIT :

I tried the solution given in How do I SSH to machine A via B in one command?

It works for me in the terminal, but the gui connect to server fails saying

Unhandled error message: Timed out when logging in

EDIT 2:

enter image description here

Notice the Connect to server in the left panel, that's what i am talking about.

How about this one?

ssh 172.16.68.3 -l your_username_on_machine_2

Make sure the ssh service is started during system start, not after login:

For a GUI way to login to a second computer enable desktop sharing on the required machine and use remmina to connect via remote desktop.

Be sure you enable the required ports on firewall.
