This is not a gnome-terminal bug, but due to the design of ssh/scp.

In your .bashrc/.profile, make the echo happen only if it's output to a terminal, e.g.
if [ -t 1 ]; then
  echo whatever you wish to see on login
fi

Title:
  scp remote fail when exists "echo" command in the .bashrc script

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Generally executing scp will result as below:

  wen@wen-U31Jg:~$ scp ./test.txt localhost:~/tmp
  test.txt                                                     100%    5     0.0KB/s   00:00 

  But when there exist "echo enter .bashrc  ..." line in .bashrc file,
  the same command failed without any error message:

  wen@wen-U31Jg:~$ scp ./test.txt localhost:~/tmp
  Enter .bashrc ......

  And of course, the file DOES NOT copy to the remote destination.
  Thanks.
