scp
scp [[user@]host1:]filename1... [[user@]host2:]filename2
Scp copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh for data transfer,
and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh.

I am using Redhat 8.0 with openssl 3.5pl installed. I can't seem to use scp
to copy files between two remote hosts. A quick debug showed that the
connection to the first remote machine was fine, but failed to connect on
the second host (I can connect to the second host outside of the scp).

Any ideas?
