? appended to filename while copying from a ssh
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I am using the command cp error.log error$HOSTNAME.log
the command works properly while running it separately in a server, but if it is run as script which uses ssh I am getting a ? appended to the filename. In the script I am copying an error log locally using ssh from other server and in the name of arerro$HOSTNAME.log but this copies as arerror$HOSTNAME.log?
shell-script filenames cp newlines

It's highly likely that the file name does not in fact contain a question mark. Rather, the ls command displays this instead of a non-printable character. Given that this character comes at the end of a file name which you specified in your script, it's probably a carriage return.
Why would you have a carriage return in your script? Because you edited it in a Windows editor. Windows represents newlines with the two-character sequence CR, LF (carriage return, line feed), whereas Unix uses just the LF character. So from Unix's perspective your script contains a line on which the last character is the ordinary character CR.
Either edit your script with a Unix editor, or use a Windows editor that allows you to save with Unix line endings.
To fix the files that you've already created, you can use the following command:
cr=$(printf 'r')
find . -name "*$cr" -exec sh -c 'for x do mv "$x" "$x%."; done' _ +
