You can disable customised tab completion for scp by adding "complete -r scp" to the end of ~/.bash_profile

I find the feature very useful on LAN computers though. -- Dapper Bash auto complete freezes console https://launchpad.net/bugs/66359 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
