I have two machines, laptop and server. Both of them source /etc/bash_completion in .bashrc.



What works:



server$ scp file laptop:~/stage/[tab][tab]
server$ scp laptop:~/stage/[tab][tab] .
server$ rsync -r folder laptop:~/stage/[tab][tab]


What doesn't work



laptop$ scp file server:/data/[tab][tab]
laptop$ scp server:/data/[tab][tab] .
laptop$ rsync -r folder server:/data/[tab][tab]


The laptop is running ubuntu 16.04 and the server is running 18.04.



server



rsync version 3.1.2



scp/ssh don't take --version



laptop



rsync version 3.1.1



scp/ssh don't take --version



Both machines have the other's public key, and ssh (as well as actual rsync/scp transfers) work without password. Clearly everything is set up as it works one way, but I can't figure out what would be causing it to fail in the other direction?
