scp to full files off a remote server.
 

I have to ssh through to a second machine due to security but when in the server machine, I do not know how to scp files off this machine to my local machine. I usually do all file transfer from the local machine - so how to do it this way around?

I have tried:

scp -r Papers 000.000.000.00:~/Work

Where I have inserted my IP. How should I make this work? I am getting the message "No route to host". Could the port be wrong? I think its 22.

Thanks

rsync -avz Remote_mc_IP_address:path to the directory ur_local_directory.


For eg:
rsync -avz 000.000.000.00:~/Work Papers

Thanks. But I'm getting the same problem as before: "No route to host". Any ideas?

does rsync work over ssh ? if not, then for security reasons, i would stick to scp.

i think you need to set up some ssh tunnel.

are you able to scp stuff to the intermediate machine then scp from the gateway to your pc ?

when inside the server, are you able to ping out ?
ping -c 5 www.linuxquestions.org
ping -c 5 your-ip

edit: are you hiding behind a firewall/ router ? did you forward that port to your local server ?
