Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

There is no command line for this transfer on the remote system!!

I did try
`scp usr1@remote:/whatever usr2@remote:/someother`
from the internal system,
but this fails.

In what way? It has a restricted shell or something?

That effectively just does:

ssh usr1@remote "scp /whatever usr2@remote:/someother"

(try scp -vvv otheroptions to see what it's doing under the covers).
