Re: typing local files through ssh

To clarify, if you've sshd (heh) from A to B to C to D, and want to transfer a 
file from D back to your workstation (A), when you can do so directly, 
without first storing it on B and C (a lot of typing).

I'm in plenty of situations where firewalls prevent A from directly connecting 
to D, and vice versa.

That's an added bonus, which is kind of nice if you're using pre-generated 
one-time passwords. This will save you one of them.
