Full Discussion: scp from user A in machine 1 to user B in machine 2

scp from user A in machine 1 to user B in machine 2
Hi all, would like to find out how can i scp a file from user A in one host to user B in another host?

i know how to get it done if its from user A in machine 1 to user A in machine 2.
1)on machine 1, generate a key pair. put the private key in the .ssh directory.
2)put the public key in /home/A/.ssh/authorized_keys in machine 2.

now i have a situation of scp_ing a file from user A to B. user B does not exist in machine 1 and user A does not exist in machine 2.

what i think will work:
1) in A's home dir in machine 1, generate the key pair. place the private key in /home/A/.ssh
2) put the public key in /home/B/.ssh/authorized_keys. because the command i am using is
Code:
scp/home/A/file1 B@machine2:/home/B/

it should search in B's .ssh dir for the matching public key right?
