~~You can alias scp to noglob scp so that you don’t have to do it yourself all the time.~~ Don’t alias scp, you’ll get problems like the user below.

Put the path including the wildcard between quotes so that zsh doesn’t try to expand it to a local file. Another solution is putting noglob before the scp command.
