title: scp does not return error nor copy
body: <p>I am trying to scp a file from my local machine to a server.
  scp returns me a series of stars like this without copying any file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[xx@xx ~]$ scp xx.tar xx@xx.xx:~
  xx@xx.xx's password:                           
  ****************************************************************
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So the first thing: I entered the password correctly.</p>
  
  <p>I also checked to make sure that scp works with other servers (only not this one).</p>
  
  <p>scp works on this server, meaning that I can pull files into the server from a terminal logged on. Errors only happen when I try to push files into the server from other places. I tried different machines, they are all the same.</p>
