[SOLVED] NFS Mount SCP Networking Question

CincinnatiKid · 02-13-2017, 04:27 PM

I'll try to explain this as best as I can.

Server1 has a NFS mount mounted to /mnt
Server1 is in California
The NFS location is on a NAS in London

Server2 is in London
Because of security in place the NFS London NAS cannot be mounted on Server2.

I run the following command on Server2:

Code:

scp user@Server1:/mnt/testfile /tmp

Does testfile go from London->Cincinnati->London, or does it just go from London->London since the NFS mount is in London?

It goes London -> US (CA? Cincinnati?) -> London.

Ok, thanks a bunch. This helps out with a situation that I am facing, I am trying to be as efficient as possible when scp'ing large files with a work situation that I am facing.
