Confused about how scp is working ( or how to scp to my config dir)

[greenbus4]

Current version: 18.0.0

I fear I'm missing something obvious.

I'm sure I used to scp files between my laptop and my HA instance. (My laptop's history is full of scp commands to and from HA.)

But, now when I scp it ends up in /home/hassio and not the container when my config is.

I have tried changing sftp: config from true to false, and also tried with and without protection mode.

Here's my setup:

~ $ cat ~/.ssh/config
UseKeychain yes
AddKeysToAgent yes
ServerAliveInterval 100

Host ha
    Hostname homeassistant.local
    User hassio

These end up with different directories. Is the terminal

~ $ ssh ha

~ # pwd
/root

And then this:

~ $ ssh ha pwd
/home/hassio

Here's scp'ing a file:

~ $ echo hello > foo.txt
~ $ scp foo.txt ha:
subsystem request failed on channel 0
scp: Connection closed
~ $ scp -O foo.txt ha:
foo.txt                                                 100%    6     1.1KB/s   00:00

And here's the file:

~ $ ssh ha 'ls -l'
total 4
-rw-r--r--    1 hassio   hassio           6 Aug 18 13:06 foo.txt

Thanks,
