I'd consider it a bug, as you've not given any source files -- it should not be finding anything to send. When I try it with my implementation(linux, openssh) I get this error:

Code:
scp: .: not a regular file
cp: omitting directory `/path/to/dirname'

If I choose a folder that does not exist on localhost:

Code:
scp: .: not a regular file
cp: cannot stat `/path/to/dir2': No such file or directory

NAME
dirname -- report the parent directory name of a file pathname LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <libgen.h> char * dirname(char *path); DESCRIPTION
The dirname() function takes a pointer to a character string that contains a pathname, path, and returns a pointer to a string that is a pathname of the parent directory of path. Trailing '/' characters in path are not counted as part of the path. If path does not contain a '/', then dirname() returns a pointer to the string ``.''. If path is a null pointer or points to an empty string, dirname() returns a pointer to the string ``.''. RETURN VALUES
The dirname() function returns a pointer to a string that is the parent directory of path. SEE ALSO
dirname(1), basename(3) STANDARDS
o X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4, Version 2 (``XPG4.2'') o IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') BUGS
If the length of the result is longer than PATH_MAX bytes (including the terminating nul), the result will be truncated. The dirname() function returns a pointer to static storage that may be overwritten by subsequent calls to dirname(). This is not strictly a bug; it is explicitly allowed by IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1''). BSD
