Transfer file from local machine to port forwarded machine

Question

I have to transfer a file from my local machine to remote server 2 from remote server 1.

I have port forwarded the remote server1(Amazon Ec2) port 2222 to remote server2(Amazon Ec2). I am connecting that machine from my local by following command,

ssh -i server.pem ec2-user@IP -p 2222

I am trying to transfer file using scp, however I am not able to find the perfect solution. Please help me on this.

Note: Remote server 1 will act as a router.

Answer 1

scp uses uppercase P for the port option:

scp -i server.pem -P 2222 source-file ec2-user@IP:path/dest

Or did that gave an error? Which one?
