** [bugs:#1173] Not able to specify relative path in the SCP URL**
**Status:** closed-fixed
**Labels:** SCP/SFTP 
**Created:** Wed Dec 12, 2012 07:23 AM UTC by Balaji Parasuram

Curl manual states that "With sftp: and scp: URLs, the path name given is the absolute name on the server. To access a file relative to the remote user's home directory,  prefix the file with /~/ , such as: curl -u $USER sftp://home.example.com/~/.bashrc"
But the above advertised behavior doesn't work for SCP URLs.
