Password: (hangs forever here) (remote) >echo "free me from hell" > /test (local) scp: /test: not a regular file > (process ended) Expected result: 1) The operation should not hang, but print the "not a regular file" error immediatly. 2) scp should print the file it tries to transfer before actually starting the operation.
