Gotcha. Makes sense now. One of those "dead simple really but how to explain it" situations... :) Ah, right. Gotcha. Makes sense now. One of those “dead simple really but how to explain it” situations… :)

Ssh on A is available externally, B isn't. I was at work and wanted to use ftp or similar to transfer files to B, but could only access A. I had been successfully using an ssh tunnel to A to get all around my network, but couldn't tunnel ftp to other machines. But, you can scp or sftp. That's probably even less clear? Mat,

I had been successfully using an ssh tunnel to A to get all around my network, but couldn’t tunnel ftp to other machines. But, you can scp or sftp.

That’s probably even less clear?

Or is there a third machine? You ssh from A --> B, then from B ---> C, and copy files from A to C, through the tunnel? I don't get it. Why not just sftp://user:password@B, from A? (or whichever way around). That always works for me (although I generally use Nautilus, I'm pretty sure I've done it with Filezilla in windows too) As an aside, I'm fairly sure that 'scp user@A:/path/ user@B:/path/', where A and B are both remote machines works, but don't quote me on that. It can work in theory, but I suspect security settings might get in the way. They sometimes do, depending on the level of paranoia your ssh server is set to. Mine tend to be set to 'very' :) I’m not sure if I’m reading you right, but I think you’re saying, to copy files from machine A to machine B, where both have sshd servers:

Instantiate SSH connection from A —> B with some form of tty; then SFTP from A —> B?

Or is there a third machine? You ssh from A –> B, then from B —> C, and copy files from A to C, through the tunnel?
