Z.148
If all is properly configured, the following command issued on the source host should succeed and not prompt for a password:
> scp destHost:/etc/motd /tmp
If this is your first time accessing destination from source, it may ask you if you want to add the fingerprint to a file of known hosts. If you specify yes, this message should no longer appear and should not interfere with scp copying via Torque. Also, it is important that the full hostname appear in the known_hosts file. To do this, use the full hostname for destHost, as in machine.domain.org instead of just machine.
