Likely, you're using an older scp version. This behavior has changed in
OpenSSH 8.7, see <https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.7>:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* scp(1): this release changes the behaviour of remote to remote
copies (e.g. "scp host-a:/path host-b:") to transfer through the
local host by default. This was previously available via the -3
flag. This mode avoids the need to expose credentials on the
origin hop, avoids triplicate interpretation of filenames by the
shell (by the local system, the copy origin and the destination)
and, in conjunction with the SFTP support for scp(1) mentioned
below, allows use of all authentication methods to the remote
hosts (previously, only non-interactive methods could be used).
A -R flag has been added to select the old behaviour.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So Tramp needs even more checks in order to detect what scp supports.
Best regards, Michael.
