Is there a way to force scp to create a directory if it does not
exist when copying a file remotely

scp -o stricthostkeychecking=no -oCiphers=aes128-cbc ~/.ssh/

Have you tried with -r?

yes I have tried

scp -r -o stricthostkeychecking=no -oCiphers=aes128-cbc ~/.ssh/
authorized_keys ring1@$hostname:~/.ssh/authorized_keys


You can get the whole directory created if you do:

scp -r -o stricthostkeychecking=no -oCiphers=aes128-cbc ~/.ssh
ring1@hostname:

But, this would also transfer all the contents of ~/.ssh. I
assume that this is not hat you want, right?
