It is not the 127.0.0.1 part that is not recognized, it is the fact that parameters which contain ':' are assumed to be of the form 'host:file'. In this case, it is trying to scp the file '31' from host 127.0.0.1-2007-11-26-18 Gilles -- Gilles Chehade http://www.evilkittens.org/ http://www.evilkittens.org/blog/gilles/
