Thank you to all who replied, now I found my probem, here's my
workaround,
I'd like to copy my file from remote host(orion) and I spawn a
command
$scp myscreen.jpg jimmy@orion:/home/jimmy/myscreen.jpg
and the error appears
upon looking at the global variables of my profile I found out some
wrong entry at my .bashrc at remote host
(jimmy@orion~/.bashrc). I just modified the .bashrc and spawn again the
command and it worked
jimmy@orion's password:
myscreen.jpg 100% |*****************************| 1707 00:00
