Failing case:

$ echo This is input_file > input_file

$ parallel -S $lenovo --transferfile {} cat ::: input_file

($lenovo is my (working and completely functional) remote server, playing the role of $SERVER1 on the documentation)

Platform:

$ uname -a
Linux machine 5.10.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.46-4 (2021-08-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm following step-by-step the documentation and made it this far, with no previous errors.

Thank you for your time
