Summary: scp with spaces username no longer works
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 4.3p2
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: scp
AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: dtucker at zip.com.au
In 4.2 and below, both of the following work even though they have spaces in
the username:
1) scp "user name at host:/path" /path
2) scp /path "user name at host:/path"
This doesn't work (and can't reliably since it effectively does "ssh host1 scp
/path user name at host2:/path" so relies on the remote shell):
3) scp "user name at host1:/path" "user name at host2:/path"
In 4.3, 1) still works but 2) doesn't:
$ scp /path "user name at localhost:/path"
user name: invalid user name
I will attach a patch to fix this. It should allow 1) and 2) while still
disallowing 3).
