>From my lab, I login into my home Ubuntu system in order to copy files with scp to my lab computer. For this, I use PuTTY on Windows to connect to my home machine. I see the Bash prompt.
Then I visit the folder with the files. My lab computer is called "bob". The full URL path I want to copy to is "bob:/windows/". So I enter "scp myfile.dat bob:/win" and press TAB. After this, I see "scp myfile.dat /windows/". But I expect to see "scp myfile.dat bob:/windows/". So you see, the hostname was erroneously removed by tab completion. But you also see that Bash has successfully connected bob and has seen that there is the root folder "windows/". As a workaround, I call "bash" immediately after having logged-in. So I call bash in bash. The child bash doesn't exhibit this behaviour for some reason. -- tab-completion of scp removes hostname https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336670 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
