I'm launching scp using System.Diagnostics.Process to copy some files to a
remote system.

This works fine on Windows (using cygwin), but on Linux it fails with the
following error:

cannot stat `*': No such file or directory

Executing the exact same command from bash works just fine.

To reproduce (without needing a remote system), compile and run the following
code:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;

public class Program
{
        public static void Main (string [] args)
        {
                Process p = new Process ();
                p.StartInfo.FileName = "scp";
                p.StartInfo.Arguments = "* /tmp";
                p.Start ();
                p.WaitForExit ();
        }
}
