scp between 2 remote hosts help...

[bgreen]

Hi

I am trying to copy a file from one remote host to another. How can I do this?

I tried scp

applmgr@p630s1:/u/iisbjg/JUNK applmgr@p690lp4:/u/iisbjg/JUNK

But this does not work.

Correction:

scp applmgr@p630s1:/u/iisbjg/JUNK applmgr@p690lp4:/u/iisbjg/JUNK

But this does not work
Not to much informative ...
Any error message ? Unexpected behaviour ?
You may try the -v option to get some debugging info.

Hope This Helps, PH.

I just used ssh and it works.

I don't believe you can copy from one remote host to another. You will need to copy the file from the first host to the local host, and then copy it to the second remote host.

Hi

I don't believe you can copy from one remote host to another.

Any file name may contain a host and user specification to indicate that the file is to be copied to/from that host. Copies between two remote hosts are permitted.

But never worked for me. :-(

I take that back... I just tested it, and to my surprise it did work!? I'm sure it didn't last time I tried.
