How can I use ssh port forwarding to copy file across servers separated by firewall?

Solution Verified - Updated 2013-02-24T02:22:45+00:00 -

Issue

2 servers,$SRC_SERVER and $DST_SERVER are each on networks separated by a firewall so directly ssh from one to the other is not possible. Also SSH daemons are configured to block logging in as root. Only inbound ssh connections are allowed on these server.How can I transfer a root-owned, only-root-can-read file, keeping file ownership, permissions & the modification date from $SRC_SERVER to $DST_SERVER?

Environment

RHEL (Any Version)
