The maildir has a specific format of the files laying underneath, e.g. 1549464014.9224_427.hostname:2,RS. In Debian environment copying this file over SSH without renaming is impossible or I don't know how. The question is how?

NOTE: no renaming should be involved!

The example output:

[user@hostname ~]$ scp '1549464014.9224_427.hostname:2,RS' remote.server.com:/dest/dir/
1549464014.9224_427.hostname:22: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

The solution with quotation like in scp error while attempting to copy files is not useful.

Use

scp './1549464014.9224_427.hostname:2,RS' remote.server.com:/dest/dir/

Go to the directory where your files are and type

scp './<filename>' user@server:location

Replace filename with your filename, it should work. Basically, it was looking for filename elsewhere
