            Bug ID: 3640
           Summary: Document scp wildcards working only in one direction
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 9.5p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement

         Component: scp
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: jidanni at jidanni.org

On the scp man page, perhaps mention that wildcards only work in one
direction:

$ set notes.txt
$ scp neurdpro.org:m.j*.o*/X/$@ .
notes.txt 100% 4976    15.5KX/s   00:00
$ scp $@ neurdpro.org:m.j*.o*/X/
scp: dest open "m.j*.o*/X/": No such file or directory
scp: failed to upload file notes.txt to m.j*.o*/X/
