scp : -l option (bandwidth limiting) doesn't work when scp-ing from a remote host to another remote host

[Stoorky Stork <stoorky.thestork@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

Well, the title says it all.

Not sure if it's specific to Debian or not (openssh's mailing list is 
closed to public posting). Someone told me it MAY be system dependent 
(see 
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/427865/scp-l-option-bandwidth-limiting-doesnt-work-when-scp-ing-from-a-remote-ser).

I think either it's a bug and -l option should also work between two 
remote hosts, or the man pages should explicitly specify that it doesn't 
work between remote hosts (see this discussion 
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5827084#post5827084)

Thanks for reading
