I've  been using the scp program to copy files from various Unix

example (from Linux-Debian-Lenny with IP 192.168.20.64):

scp logfile.txt c.user@192.168.20.62:

That worked perfectly well for more than one year.

But since a few months I am always receiving the following error message

regtest@srv-deb-lenny:~$ scp logfile.txt 192.168.20.62:

scp: ambiguous target
Does http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#2.9 help?

Hi Corinna,

I tried your diagnosis suggestion (http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#2.9). But that doesn't seem to be the cause - no output from the /usr/bin/true command.

Note: I also tried sftp and rsync - and both worked for me.
