Subject: colons in names to scp

I need to copy files via scp from a zsh script. Say, $1 holds a file name
containing ':'. When I do
scp $1 $host:$dir
I get an error from scp, treating the prefix of $1 before : as a source host
name. What's the right way to quote it -- '$1' would preclude interpolation
of $1, which is exactly why $1 is used in the first place..
Cheers,
Alexy.
