my scp man page says "Copies between two remote hosts are also permitted."

Thanks, it is good to hear. To scp you can give a -P flag (it was written by some BSD people, this because its argument handling is so tragic :-( ), but it seems you can't specify different ports on the remote hosts. I am sorry, but I think, only this workaround lefts (or there are a lot of trickier solutions, using ssh but avoiding scp - for example, sftpfs, but they are not the simplest). I extended my workaround with the port settings.
