[Fab-user] trivial put test case fails?

[Timothee Besset]

I am trying to run the following test case:

def test_put():
    "Test a file put."
    put( '/home/timo/bar', '/root/bar' )

/home/timo/bar exists on my local system, I am logging in as root into
the remote host just fine, but the put fails:

$ fab test_put
Fabric v. 0.1.0.
Running test_put...
Logging into the following hosts as root:
    qls16
Error: The put operation failed on qls16:
    [Errno 2] No such file

Does this functionality expect specific programs installed on the remote
end maybe?
