This took me a while to find, so I thought I’d blog it in case future generations are searching, or anyone can tell me a simpler way.

How To SCP Via A Gateway

$ # From localhost to remotehost...
$ scp -Cp -o "ProxyCommand ssh gatewayuser@gateway nc remotehost 22" file remoteuser@remotehost:/some/where/file

$ # ...and back again.
$ scp -Cp -o "ProxyCommand ssh gatewayuser@gateway nc remotehost 22" remoteuser@remotehost:/some/where/file file_copy

Hi Kris,

thank you very much – I knew this had to be possible, and I’m very happy that I didn’t have to find out the syntax myself.

As always, quite impressive what you can do on the bash…this is the real voodoo stuff.

You made my evening…

Cheers,
Philipp
