The other poster pointed you in the right direction - scp used in the
method you suggest actually opens up a connection from A to B. I can
see why you might want to to save bandwidth, but if A can't directly
talk to B (firewalled, for example), then there's no way to do this
without doing the intermediate copy that you tried.
We sniffed the packets here to see what it does to prove that A really
does try to talk to B.
