How to use scp using sudo ?
I am trying to doing scp a file from remote host to local location, file in the remote host has permission -rwx------ and owned by root and also permision in local directory has drwx------ and owned by root. I am trying to do like this to do a scp using ..
sudo scp hostname:/path/to/file.txt
but it doesn't seems to work.. as I can't read file on the remote host. How can I achieve it?

... seems I missed "sudo" in front of the final "rm" in step (1,2). Sorry!
