Better command scp /home/whatever/file.jpg remote@hostname:/home/user/Pictures/ because with the ending "/" you state you intend to copy to a directory. If it doesn't exist you get an error message. Without the "/" at the end of the remote path you would rename your file and could even overwrite an existing file name "Pictures". Regards, jvp.
