Hi

You can trying setting the variable http_proxy like

export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy:8080/

Then add a the following two lines for each host you wanna access
through the proxy in the ~/.ssh/config file:
Host host1.dyndns.org
        ProxyCommand connect-proxy -H proxy:8080 %h 22

If you have to use a isa proxy (ntl authentication) you can pass
through using the ntlmaps package. In this case is a bit different:

1.- install and configure the ntlmaps package (there are many tutorials online)
2.- set the variable http_proxy like
           export http_proxy=http://localhost:5865
3.- Then add a the following two lines for each host you wanna access
through the proxy in the ~/.ssh/config file:
Host host1.dyndns.org
        ProxyCommand connect-proxy -H localhost:5865 %h 22

Is all the steps are ok you will be able to launch a ssh session
against the host1.dyndns.org through the proxy so in theory you will
be able sftp the remote server.

I hope it helps

Best regards

Juan
