           Summary: scp bug with computer names
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.6.1p2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: scp
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: johnw.nicholson at sbcglobal.net


When stating:
scp -p -r 192.168.1.100:/dirfrom 192.168.1.2:/dirto
I get the following:

Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
lost connection

With some help at this thread:

I think the issue is with treatment of the computer name or IP address of the
functioning computer being a local machine.  By functioning computer, I mean the
computer which is executing the program.

If the above command is issued from a machine with an IP address as 192.168.1.2
or 192.168.1.100 followed with ":dirname" then the scp will fail. If only
"dirname" is entered for the functioning computer then scp works. 

Note that I am not copying between two remote machines, only one.
