Hi,
I'm using scp from openssh-5.1p1 on opensuse 11.1.
trying to copy a file to a nonexisting directory with scp gives the wrong error message:
harald > scp /etc/passwd remote:nodir/
scp: nodir/: Is a directory
harald > ssh remote ls -ld nodir
ls: cannot access nodir: No such file or directory
IMHO the error message should read e.g. "directory does not exist" and not "is a directory".
