scp:copy:remote-to-file
Copy a file between two remote hosts transferring through the local host.
$ scp -3 ${host1}:${path/to/remote_file} ${host2}:${path/to/remote_directory}
try on your machine
This command transfers a file from a remote server, specified by ${host1}, to another remote server, specified by ${host2}, using the secure copy (scp) command. The file being transferred is located at ${path/to/remote_file} on ${host1} and it will be copied to ${path/to/remote_directory} on ${host2}. The "-3" option enables the SCP to transfer files between two remote hosts, while "scp" is the command used to copy files securely between servers using SSH authentication.
