            Bug ID: 3611
           Summary: scp -r does not handle sym links to directories
                    correctly
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.7p1
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: scp
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: ryman559 at hotmail.com

Example:
scp  -r /tmp/dir1/ `hostname`:/tmp/scp
/tmp/dir1/dir3 is not a regular file
Uploading of file /tmp/dir1/dir3 to /tmp/scp/dir1/dir3 failed!
failed to upload directory /tmp/dir1 to /tmp/scp/dir1

ls -lart /tmp/dir1/dir3 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Sep  5 11:33 /tmp/dir1/dir3 -> ../dir2/dir3/

Works with -O:

scp -O  -r `hostname`:/tmp/dir1/  /tmp/scp
abc 

I assume it has something to do with the new protocol. Apologies if
this is already fix, but didn't find anything when I looked.

Thanks
