Tab completion on remote machine with SCP (rianjs.net (Hanser)) by Rian

I generated a public/private key pair on my local machine, and I'm experimenting with copying files from here to my webhost without needing a password. Took me a few minutes to get working, but now I'm playing with it, and I accidentally hit [tab] while putting together an scp command on my local machine.

It autocompleted with what's available on the remote machine.

That's pretty fricken cool.
