ssh from there to here?

[Ted Roche]

I've been using ssh to transfer files to my web server from my home 
office without a problem, but I'm trying to receive rather than send, 
and either I don't understand how to form the command, or I've got 
something configured wrong.

To test the configuration, I've ssh'd into the remote machine, and 
initiated an ssh session from the remote box back into the local 
machine, to get the authorized host key in place. I've scp'd a file 
that way from the remote box to the local box successfully. But, when I 
try to pull a file from the remote server, I'm getting a failure. Is 
this the right way to try to transfer the file, or should I be doing 
something else? I'm guessing that the remote machine can't get the 
password to the local machine because it's executing with the -n flag. 
Do I need to use ssh-agent or keychain to get this to work?

Below is the verbose output of the attempt. Any guidance would be 
appreciated.
