I am using a remote server and want to copy files from the server.
When using the server, I need to log in with 2 steps.
ssh username@A
after loging into server A, I need to log in again.
ssh username@B
.
So I am in server B now. (by uname -a
)
Is there anyway to download files in server B to local computer?
I tried sftp and scp, but I don't know how to specify the server name.
Both of username@A and username@B have been tested, which don't work.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

First fire up an SSH tunnel from your local machine to Server B, through A:
$ ssh user@serverA -L2222:serverB:22
Then from another terminal, scp directly to/from B:
$ scp -P 2222 /path/to/file user@localhost:/path/to/destination
Note that due to port tunnelling, user@localhost
is actually user@serverB
, so make sure to use the appropriate username for that remote server.
