I am trying to make it easier to use scp so I learned about alias today, and I am using it like this:
alias loudie-scp="scp -i keys/aws.pem $1 ec2-user@ec2-107-20-68-112.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/home/ec2-user"
the $1 is there to specify the file i want to transfer over. However this is not working and giving me an error:
scp: /home/ec2-user: not a regular file
This does not happen when I execute this command manually passing in any file for $1.
BASH FAQ entry #80: “How can I make an alias that takes an argument?”
