UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

There are two servers, server A and B. User alpha has read/write permission for server A but can only logon to server B . For read write permission on server B user alpha has to use

Sudo -u beta command

I want to copy a file from server A to server B. How can I combine sudo and scp to make this work? I want to execute this command on server A



this is what I have tried but doesnt seem to work:


sudo -u beta scp myfile alpha@B:~/

Code:

scp myfile alpha@B:/tmp 
ssh alpha@B "sudo -u beta mv /tmp/myfile ~/myfile"

you can combine them with the && into one line.

thanks for the reply, I tried that but user beta doesn't have permission to mv/cp from /tmp directory. User only has permissions for home dir. Any other ideas??
