scp files with ':' in filename

[Hiren Patel]

greetings,

would it be a good idea to include within the scp man pages, how one would
use scp to copy files which have the ' : ' character in the filename?
a friend struggled a little trying to do this, discovered the answer on
google, i thought it might be usefull to have in the man pages too.
the solution was to use the files' full path so that scp recognised it as a
file.
please cc me on any replys as im not subcribed to the list.
thanks.
