scp checking for existence of directories: directory names are incorrect

[myrtlecat]

Commit d02d222 is supposed to ensure that SSHlaunchers check that destination directories exist when copying files between hosts (see issue #3411). However there is a bug where the hostname (or ip address) of the destination machine is included in the directory name by mistake.

The offending code is:

check_output(self.ssh_cmd + self.ssh_args + \
    [self.location, 'mkdir', '-p', '--', remote_dir]
)

The problem is that remote_dir includes the hostname (or ip) of the destination machine, so for example a directory that should be created on the destination machine at:

~/.ipython/profile_ssh/security

will instead be created at:

~/<DESTINATION HOSTNAME>/.ipython/profile_ssh/security

Thanks, should be fixed by #5418. Can you confirm?

Wow, fast turnaround!

Yes, that should do the trick.
