22 no, when you did it you specified that it was to copy a file called
23 ssh. just leave ssh out altogether.

25 if you want to specify the remote shell to use, specify it with -e ssh,
26 if you want to rely on the default, leave out -e, and leave out "ssh"
27 unless you really DO want to copy a file called ssh.
