Hi,

This is fairly common. I would look into the use of a proxy command to do
exactly what you ask. In addition, though not strictly necessary, I also
would generally recommend rsync rather than scp*. Both of these are
documented on my page here:

http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/it-services/central-ssh-access

Its got an Oxford Physics specific slant to it but hopefully its helpful.

*I don't think rsync has any issue when the remote machine prints things
either.
