SCP does not recognize configuration from .ssh/config

I've configure the file .ssh/config to make easier connections:

Host MyHost
    HostName     my.univ.edu
    User         me
    Port         22

Host cluster
    HostName     thecluster
    User         me
    ProxyJump    MyHost

When I do ssh cluster everything works well. However, scp commands do not work:

$ scp cluster:/path/to/my/file .
zsh: no matches found: cluster:/path/to/my/file

Any idea why?

Solution

  • zsh seems to be doing file globbing here, can you do :

    scp "cluster:/path/to/my/file" .
