I'm pretty sure that in this case the data will still go via your machine.

Direct server-to-server copying will probably be much faster. If the servers are within the same data centre, you might achieve speeds of up to several hundred MB per second. Even if they're not, most servers have pretty meaty connections, so you might achieve 50 to 200 MB per second.

The basic trick is to set up passwordless authentication from server 1 to server 2, and passwordless authentication from your client machine to server 1. Then it's just a matter of:

ssh 'user1@server1' 'scp' '/path/to/source' 'user@server2:/path/to/des
+t'

Note that the above should still work with password authentication, but you'll be prompted to enter server1's password, then server 2's password.
