"man scp" says -- "Any file name may contain a host and user specification to indicate that the file is to be copied to/from that host. Copies between two remote hosts are permitted."
I am sure, scp should work, but only problem is it prompts for passwords, but there is a way to work around to avoid passowrd prompt (edit ~/.ssh/*) If you are scp fails, try with rcp, which does not prompt for passwords. "man rcp" says -- "Rcp handles third party copies, where neither source nor target files are on the current machine." You need to configure rcp on all the 3 systems -- current host where you type rcp cmd, and the 2 remote hosts ie. source and target. To make it quick, add just one line with "+" to .rhosts (see man rhosts) to disable complete security. This should definitely work. -Satya -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 2:56 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: How to remotely copy files from remote server to remote server? > Scp only copies from a local to a remote directory, or from a remote to > a local directory.

Scp only copies from a local to a remote directory, or from a remote to a local directory. It doesn't work for remote to remote directory transfers...
