scp with IPV6

[Joachim Backes]

Hi, having a scp problem with IPV6:

I want to copy a local file to a remote server without DNS entry via the
server IPV6 address
(for example "scp file  2001:638:208:ef45:0:ff:fe00:65:)

Syntactical Problem: The first server part (2001) is interpreted as
target host name, the rest as filename, and that produces problems.

I only can solve this problem by making an /etc/hosts entry like

2001:638:208:ef45:0:ff:fe00:65 server

and using "server" instead of the IPV6 address.

Any other solution?

NB: ssh to that IVP6 address runs flawlessly.

Kind regards
