Net::SSH to login into a server with a public key

Hi,
I have a remote server B which can only accessed via server A through a
public key.

Is there a way to do this in net/ssh ?

I have started an SSH session for A

  Net::SSH.start("ServerA","username",:password=>"xyz") do |ssh|
     #is there a way to now login into B?
     #In putty I just do: ssh B and I am in
  end

thanks.

Take a look at Net::SSH::Gateway:

Yes it's very simple.
http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org/ssh/v2/api/index.html

I have started an SSH session for A

Net::SSH.start("ServerA","username",:password=>"xyz") do |ssh|

Net::SSH.start("ServerA","username",:keys=>["~/.ssh/id_rsa"]) do |ssh|

    #is there a way to now login into B?
    #In putty I just do: ssh B and I am in
end
