See http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/130 (scroll down) "Also, if you use ssh/scp a lot, bash_completion complete hosts and remote filenames by default if you use ssh-agent: scp local_file root@hTAB/remTAB/paTAB would then expand as : scp local_file root@host:/remote/path/ you'll need of course a fast and low-latency connection for it to be useful.
