Description Stephane 2002-11-27 09:51:17 AEDT 
I just changed my hosting provider that gives user@domain as ssh login to the 
domain.. so a scp command line gives:

scp file.tocopy user@domain@domain:

It fails to connect. I checked the source code and it uses strchr rather than 
strrchr to get the hostname and user.. thus it will end up with user 'user' 
and domain 'domain@domain'...which is unlikely to succeed.

This bug exists at least in scp.c and ssh.c

Workaround for ssh is to use ssh -l user@domain domain and for scp is to use 
another client. I use pscp on windows.
