scp between 2 servers - invoked at 3rd server
I have a couple of servers that can't see each other and need to copy files from one to the other. I try to invoke scp from a 3rd server that can see both servers - get error msgs that are cryptic.

from server C
I can do
scp user@serverA:~/file .
scp file user@serverB:~

but if I try to do:
scp user@serverA:~/file user@serverB:~
I get prompted for password on Server A, but then fail with permission denied on serverB

I captured the verbose output of this last command, but cannot see why it does not prompt me for the password on ServerB

$> scp -v ctsjsie@fxlddb01:~/xxx.lst ctsjsie@hstas05:~
Executing: /usr/local/bin/ssh -v -x -o'ClearAllForwardings yes' -n -l ctsjsie fxlddb01 scp -v ~/xxx.lst 'ctsjsie@hstas05:~'

Your trying to go from server C with one command thru server A and get a file from B all at the same time. Why don't you just log in A with SSH. The do an scp from A to B and see if that works.

Also, It looks like your sshd_config file excepts keys or passwords so there shouldn't be any issue there.

Thanks X,

Unfortunately, as I indicated A & B cannot see each other. Both of these servers are located outside of our firewall at 2 different sites. Server C is located inside the firewall on our internal network and CAN see both server A & Server B - I was hoping to copy files from A to B by way of C in a "single hop" - Beginning to look like I can't do it this way......
