Ok I've never used scp but have tried a few things. Getting prompted for a password though.
Code:
 scp user@host1 /home/dir/test.csv user@host2:/dir

As blackrageous said earlier, for passwordless transfer you need to set up SSH keys.

Leave the 'user@host1' out if you are copying local files onto host2. It will try to copy a file named 'user@host1' and complain that such a file does not exist.
