How do I copy a file with Colon (punctuation) name in it. When I type the following command to copy “file:name.txt” to a remote host called server1:

scp file:name.txt user@server1:/path

I get the following error:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname s: Name or service not known

How do I copy file with scp or rsync with a colon in it?
