[Bug 1989] New: SCP wihout a source path

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1989
Bug #: 1989
Summary: SCP wihout a source path
Classification: Unclassified
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 4.3p2
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: scp
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs [at] mindrot
ReportedBy: cent9ur [at] gmail
Hi,
I regularly use scp to copy files between hosts like this:
"scp -prv user [at] remotehos:/path/to/copy ."
However, today, I made a mistake and typed this instead:
"scp -prv user [at] remotehos: /path/to/copy ."
This started copying user [at] remotehost $HOME to . on the local host I
was on.
So I have now tried "scp -prv user [at] remotehos: ." which also copies
$HOME to . on the local host. I did not know you could do this. I am
under the impression that I must always include a path or at least a
"/" after ":" as this is how I interpret the "file" in the man pages as
it does not have "[]"
Additionally, if I use "scp -prv user [at] remotehos: /path/to/copy ." it
starts writing everything to . instead of /path/to/copy.
Is this a bug?
