connecting to mie computer

Göstas comments:

We know have a Desy account that should let us log in to any Windows or Unix
computer here. Ask around for the username and password.

There is also an ssh/scp/sftp server on the data computer. Unfortunately you
cannot connect directly to the data computer unless you are hooked up to the
internal network. Here is a work around:

1)
Add the following line to your /etc/hosts file
(C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on WinXP):

127.0.0.1 mie

2)
Open an ssh tunnel to bastion.desy.de:

ssh -l vuvupp -L 22:hasbl2mie.desy.de:22 bastion.desy.de

3)
As long as this tunnel is alive, you should be able to connect to our data
computer with ssh/scp/stp, using the alias mie for the host name. For
example, ssh username@mie. Ask around for the username and password.
