Is either of "host" or "remote" your local account (the machine where
you run scp)? This is probably also a bug in the tty handling code,
but you could work around it by only connecting remotely to one
machine (it is faster too, as the way you currently use it, scp will
connect to both hosts with ssh2, and not use local file access at
all).
For example, lets suppose "host" is the local host. Then you could use
scp as follows:
% scp path/file user@remote:remote_path/remote_file
(to copy a local file to the remote)
or
% scp user@remote:remote_path/remote_file path/file
(vice versa)
