Issue
When using scp to copy a file the file fails to transfer, however there is no error message.
Solution
This issue can occur due echo commands within your .bashrc and how the scp program handles the output from these commands. This is a known bug within scp which can be viewed here.
To resolve this the following can be added to the top of your .bashrc file.
# If not running interactively, don't do anything [[ $- == *i* ]] || return
