multi-hop scp questions

    All;
    

    I want to copy files from server C to my laptop, I have access to
      server C via:
    laptop --> ssh to server B (the jumpbox)
    then
    server B --> ssh to server C
    

    I added an ssh config like this (.ssh/config in my home dir on my
      laptop):
    

    Host serverB

                HostName jumpbox.clientA.aws.com

        
        Host serverC

                ProxyCommand    ssh -q serverB nc -q0 serverC -db 22
    

    However when I tried this from my laptop:
    ssh myuser@serverC 

    
    I get prompted for my user on serverB, enter the pw but it never
      accepts it:
    $ ssh myuser@serverC

      
    jsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password:
    

    jsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password:

    jsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password:
    

    I notice that I'm trying to login as the jump box user (myuser)
      but i'm prompted for the laptop user I'm logged in as (jsmith).
    

    Can anyone help me get multi-hop ssh/scp working even when the
      user I want to connect as is not the same as my laptop user? Also
      do I need to setup ssh keys to make this work? I'd prefer not to
      do this...
    

    Thanks in advance
