Yes, the syntax you used effectively sshs to host1 and then scps from there to host2; I believe you need to be using public-key authentication via an ssh-agent and agent forwarding to host1 in order for this to work. Considering the compatibility limitations of scp (http://www.openssh.org/faq.html#2.10), I doubt this will be fixed. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
