"did you check that direct authentication works from first remote host to the second one?

scp user@host:/file user@otherhost:/otherfile is shorthand for

ssh user@host scp /file user@otherhost:/otherfile

which leeds me to think:

ssh -p XXX user@host scp -P XXX /file user@otherhost:/otherfile might work."

"Define the servers in your .ssh/config file, for example:

Host foobar
User youruser
Port 2222
Hostname the.real.hostname

Host foobar2
User youruser
Port 2222
Hostname the2.real.hostname

You can then simply do:

scp foobar:file foobar2:

and it will use the defined custom ports."
