path expansion on remote host

[Sepp Tannhuber <sepp.tannhuber@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

when I type
  scp /u/lo/li
and press the Tab key, it is expanded to
  scp /usr/local/lib
But when I do the same on a remote host
  scp user@remotehost:/u/lo/li
the expansion fails. However path expansion
works for the last part, e.g.
  scp user@remotehost:/usr/local/l
is expanded correctly. Why does it fail in the
second case? And how can I fix it?

Best regards
Joseph
