Hi,
Password: (the correct password) debug1: Authentication succeeded (keyboard-interactive). debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: Entering interactive session. debug1: Sending command: scp -v -t . Linux kiste 2.4.26-1-k7 #1 Tue Aug 24 14:08:24 JST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^scp gets confused if there is any output from the target. Check from where this line is generated (.bashrc?) and comment it out.
