When I'm trying to copy a file using scp (in whatever direction), there's no error displayed (although the returned $? code is 1), all I can see is the message that normally the REMOTE machine prints when I log in (it's printed from the startup script). Nothing else is printed and the file isn't copied.
Local machine is OpenSUSE (never had any problems on that ground), remote machine is Centos 7, freshly installed.
The exactly same command executed on the CentOS machine, also in whatever direction, works without problems. It's simple like scp FILENAME sektor@remote-machine:.
Anyone has idea how to at least debug this or whatever other checks I could do to understand what happened?
I tried already -v, it prints nothing unusual. Since the moment of requesting the password it prints (I changed the machine name and IP):
debug1: Next authentication method: password
sektor@remote-machine's password:
debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).

The log suggests as if some copying happened, but still the file wasn't copied.
EDIT: Funny thing is, I have reinstalled a different system there (Oracle Linux this time) and after copying all my startup files I have again the same problem. But I found a "solution" (tho I'd call it workaround): I removed the last line of the subscript of .bashrc, which was doing, as you might have guessed:
echo "Welcome to $HOSTNAME, $LOGNAME. Put on the helmet, just in case"
Once removed, scp copies these files correctly. I am still curious, what the real root case was, though, because I have this line in the OpenSuSE system (15.1) and scp was always working without problems.
