scp between two remote hosts

[Shih, Robert]

Hi All,

I am running openssh (OpenSSH_2.9p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0).  The scenario
is that I have got three machines (A, B and C).  The sshd on host A is
listensing on port 1234, and the sshd on host B is listensing on port 5678.
How can I set up a scp from a third host C so as to copy a file from host A
to host B?

scp -P 1234 myname at A:/var/tmp/file1 -P 5678 myname at B:/var/tmp/file1

does not work and C always try to connect to sshd on A at port 22.

Rgds.

Bob Shih
