SCP from one external server to another

  • 772

I am trying to a SCP on my local server that copies a file from one remote server to another remote server (Both remote servers use a custom port (xxxx)

I am trying:

scp -r -P xxxx [email protected]:/home/myimages/images.tar.gz [email protected]:/home/myimages/images.tar.gz

But i get the following error:

ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.222 port 22: Connection timed out

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

    I ended up doing the following:

    ssh -p xxxx [email protected] "scp -r -P xxxx /home/myimages/images.tar.gz [email protected]:/home/myimages/images.tar.gz"

    An SSH followed by an SCP.

  2. ssh [email protected] 'tar cf - /home/myimages/images.tar.gz' | ssh [email protected] 'tar xf -'

    Ssh-pipes are extremely useful. Learn and love them!
