# SSH, VPN, VNC related Problems
## Q: How to transfer files between two VPN networks?
You should be able to use an SSH tunnel.
Assuming you're trying to transfer a file from a remote computer ("remote") to your local computer ("local"),
establish the tunnel via the third computer ("gateway") by typing this on your local computer:
`ssh -fNL 12345:remote:22 gatewaylogin@gateway`
Then you can run an unlimited amount of SCP commands on this tunnel (still typing on your local computer):
`scp -P 12345 remotelogin@localhost://path/to/remote/file /local/path/where/you/want/file`
I just tested this on my network, and it worked perfectly.
The above method is fine if the remote network is secure, but if it is not secure,
you'd need to establish a tunnel between local and gateway, and another tunnel between gateway and remote, linking the two by a common port number.
