[Bug 160631] Re: scp does not validate existance of file before connecting to remote host

[rusivi1]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the
development release - Maverick Meerkat. It would help us greatly if you
could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next
release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release
at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your
help.

  Binary package hint: openssh-client
  
  This is a minor issue, but if you attempt to copy a non-existent file to
  an existing host, scp fails to detect this basic issue until *after* you
  have been prompted for the remote systems password.
  
  Steps to recreate:
  
  1. scp this_file_does_not_exist localhost:/tmp
  2. enter your password for localhost
  3. observe the error:
  
   scp this_file_does_not_exist localhost:/tmp
- u...@localhost's password: 
+ u...@localhost's password:
  this_file_does_not_exist: No such file or directory
-  
+ 
  
  This is with feisty (openssh-client version 4.3p2-8ubuntu1).
  
  Thanks for reading!

+ LAST VERSION TESTED: openssh-client 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu4 (Maverick)
