Bug in openssh-1.2.2p1 scp program?
The scp program from openssh-1.2.2p1 behaves different from the scp
program from ssh-1.2.27. In ssh-1.2.27 you can copy one or more file(s) to
a remote users home directory using the command:

scp filename(s) user@remotehost

In openssh-1.2.2p1 this copies the file(s) to a file named
"user@remotehost" in the current (local) directory. To copy the files to
the wanted (remote) location you have to use this command:

scp filename(s) user@remotehost:
^

Is this a bug or a feature?

it's a feature. rcp and scp did always work this way.
