This diff seems to be just the manpage - I think you're missing the code changes. (Merging this with bug #831) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 831 *** closing resolved bugs as of 8.6p1 release |
Created attachment 3319 [details] ssh_scpA.diff scp's ability to copy between two remote hosts has always seemed of very limited use to me, since the first remote host must be able to establish an ssh connection to the second host. This is really a case where agent forwarding comes in handy. Currently you can already do scp -oForwardAgent=yes host1:foo host2: and the attached patch adds the -A flag as a shortcut: scp -A host1:foo host2: Note that this will forward the agent connection to host1 only.
