I have two Linux VM, say VM1 and VM2 and Windows Machine on which VSCode installed. VM1 is only accessible from the window machine. VM2 is only accessible from VM1. VM2 is not accessible from my windows machine, hence cannot do ssh to it. Using VScode, I can do ssh to VM1. Is there any way to do ssh to VM2 from VM1's SSH session in VSCode?

I have two Linux VM, say VM1 and VM2 and Windows Machine on which VSCode installed.
VM1 is only accessible from the window machine.
VM2 is only accessible from VM1.
VM2 is not accessible from my windows machine, hence cannot do ssh to it.
Using VScode, I can do ssh to VM1.

Is there any way to do ssh to VM2 from VM1's SSH session in VSCode?

Are these local VMs or Azure VMs @Sudhir Shinde ?

@Ryan Hill VMs available over network in a lab and not Azure VMs.

Note: I did not find appropriate tag and it was mandatory, hence added it as Azure VMs. Request to move/add accordingly

I've assigned the hyper-v tag. It may be traction, but I have my reservations. You are talking about @Sudhir Shinde is using VS Code from a Windows machine to SSH into a Linux VM to tunnel into another Linux VM.

I'm assuming you don't have access to the OS on VM1 and VM2? Are you able to ping VM2 from VM1 in your SSH session? Do you get any errors?

I can access files and folders of VM1 from VScode as Remote SSH is possible on it.
Unable to do SSH from VScode to VM2 as this is on another network and only accessible/ can do ssh from VM1 only.
Yes, VM2 is pingale and it's files, folders accessible when do SSH from VM1.

Came across https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/25056, maybe that can work?
