Hello,

I have a file named like this
-hh-6CP0_3Xf9nreW45XSBGrstMsovnIX6tTe45Enk4

and when I do a scp i have this output
scp: unknown option -- h

I feel like there's a limitation because
"scp * destination" shouldn't output an error, * is considered as files not 
options

What do you think about it ?

In 1974, one said

cp ./-hello foo\*hello

Though using '*' in a filename was considered impolite.
Students often tried to hide files from machine operators so
there were often strange filenames including, for instance,
backspaces.
