Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4
Followup-For: Bug #198275
I was just trying to copy a folder over with a colon in it's name. Of
course, scp thought that the colon was a hostname separator and responded
with "ssh: The: Name or service not known"
So, I tried backslashing the colon, and replacing it with two colons. Both
had the exact same result.
I tried prefixing the entire pathname with a colon. That caused it to at
least stop thinking of it as a separator; the problem there was that it also
included the prefix in the path...
":The ...: No such file or directory"
I think that the best way to solve this (short of telling people not to try
to copy files with colons in their name <g>), is to make it so that if a
pathname begins with a colon, that colon is removed and the path is
considered to be part of the local filesystem.
Cheers,
Tyler
