It's not enough to just give a username and a machine name. You need
tell scp *where* on the remote machine you want the file put:
$ scp file.tar.gz longterm@chatusa.com:.
The colon (':') seperates the hostname from the file path. If the
colon isn't there, scp won't recognize the 2nd parameter as a
target on a remote machine.
