It seems you can't change it. podman/pkg/domain/utils/scp.go at main · containers/podman (github.com)

podman invokes mktemp on the remote server and that's where it sends the image.

Thinking of it, it's logical. You don't really want to keep a copy of the image... /tmp is used for that purpose.

What's wrong is that it doesn't catch (or report) the error. You should create an issue about that.

I'm not 100% sure of this but scp doesn't create temporary files during file transfer.
I have no idea what podman does under the hood when you run your command but it reminds me how rsync works.

It's not the best way to move an image to another server but why don't you podman save, scp the image then podman load on the remote server ?

I was already digging into this: /tmp is not big enough and I was
looking how to change the location to where sftp-server puts the data.
