As indicated by the error message, the issue isn't the 127.0.0.1
prefix but rather the colon. If there's a colon before the first
slash in an argument, then scp will treat it as a host:filename
specification. If you want it to treat such a name as local, then
prefix it with "./", ala:
scp -r ./127.0.0.1-2007-11-26-18:31 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/u02/snap
