Q: 

How does scp traffic flow between two remote hosts?

If you issue a scp command between 2 remote servers, will the traffic flow directly between the hosts? Or will it flow from Remote1 => Local Machine => Remote2 ?

For example I issue this command on my laptop:

scp [email protected]:/Files [email protected]:/Files

+1  A: 

Looks like it can be done.
