[GLLUG] scp question

[Marshal Newrock]

I found a useful article about this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3407442/how-does-scp-traffic-flow-between-two-remote-hosts

The upshot is that unless the two remote hosts can see each other, you
can use the -3 option to force traffic through the local host.
