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".
