    Hi,

    I get what seems to be a strange behavior when using scp in machine B.
    1- I do a ssh to another host, in a terminal window of machine A, and
    get a shell in machine B
    2- In B, I begin to issue 'scp A:/us and press the <TAB> key in order
    to complete the directory name to 'usr/'. At this point, the terminal
    freezes and I have to close the window.
    3- If, on the contrary, I didn't issue the ssh (step 1), when I do
    scp /us and press <TAB>, bash completes the action. Furthermore, when I
    ~ have: scp /usr/fileA B:/us and press <TAB> bash also completes the
    command line without freezing.

    So, is this a normal behavior?

    Luis
