Hi Jeff,When I check the error logs, it makes no mention of A trying to connect to B, just C.
From the man page I can't see anything to support your argument.
(Nor mine either. ;> )
From an engineering perspective it would be a waste of bandwidth
and a possible issue of disk space to copy files via an intermediate host, imho.
Interestingly I just tried to scp between to remote hosts using
"[root@core]# scp nick@host-1:filename nick@host-2:/home/nick"
and unless host-2 was resolvable by host-1 then I got
"host-2: Name or service unknown" (which is resolver error, aistr).
The "command host", core, can resolve host-2 just fine, btw.
Putting host-2 into /etc/hosts on host-1 resulted in a timeout on port 22 of host-2
which was expected as host-1 is blocked by host-2 firewall. So the
resolver error came from host-1 it seems.
(phew, what a lot of hosts.... a host of hosts?)
This indicates to me that host-1 is attempting to contact host-2 directly.
I see nothing in my logs (am I looking in the wrong place?).
So I believe that hostA needs setting up to scp to hostB with public keys.
