It works as you like if the call explicitely uses the destination file name: scp '\test\file.txt' host:/target/file.txt Corinna > > $ scp 'test\file.txt' host:/target/ > test\file.txt 100% 7395 7.2KB/s 00:00 > > > Background: scp is called by a Java application (Maven) and I cannot even wrap the call with a script. Sure you can. Create a script called "scp" which is in Maven's $PATH before /usr/bin.
