scp through proxy

hello

WinSCP allows my to connect remote server through proxy with setting up proxy server IP 10.0.0.88 and HTTP port 6588. Now i'm in linux and want to do the same. I can access ssh using putty-tools which are included also pscp in linux. Is there any chance to copy files from linux to linux using scp ( I do not want to setup FTP) through proxy server?

thanks

SCP is just a sub protocol over SSH and the scp command therfore uses the ssh command. and i'm afraid the simple ssh progam does not support proxies, neither HTTP nor SOCKS.

but you mention that you also use putty for linux, namely the pscp command. as the putty doc says there seems to be currently no command line option to specify a proxy. but (and that is also noted there) you can save a session with proxy settings and use it with pscp afterwards, e. g.:

$ pscp -load "proxy session" /your/file user@hostname:/tmp
