If keys are not setup, it will sequentially ask for the passwords: [us...@host3 ~]$ scp us...@host1:file us...@host2:. us...@host1's password: us...@host2's password: If you want to use key based authentication then you need to add user3's public key in user1's authorized keys and user1's public key in user2's authorized keys. -- Regards Osric Xavier Fernandes -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
