It hasn't budged an inch since then:  your "Entering interactive session"
problem is the same one everyone has; it gets reported on SF's bug and/or
support managers at least daily; SF has not fixed it yet; these days they
don't even respond to scp bug reports anymore; the cause appears to be SF's
custom sfshell, and only SF can change that; the only known workarounds are
to (a) modify files on SF directly (they suggest vi <wink>), or (b) initiate
scp *from* SF, using your local machine as a server (if you can do that -- I
cannot, or at least haven't succeeded).
