scp over 2 hosts

[Rachit Siamwalla]

I dunno, if scp doesn't work, then you can always do the following:

copy from:
ssh hosta ssh hostb cat /tmp/yourfile > yourfile

copy to:
cat yourfile | ssh hosta ssh hostb "cat > /tmp/yourfile"

I use this to perform backups / remote restorations (replacing cat with
tar).
