Description

I try to transfer a hidden folder like ".github/folder/", after the transfer gets finished every is fine just the aim host doesn't contain the file.

FYI, the example pipeline is below. Thanks :)

```
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Copy file
uses: appleboy/scp-action@v0.1.7
env:
PUBLIC_IP: input your host
with:
host: ${{ env.PUBLIC_IP }}
username: username
password: ${{ secrets.PIPELINE_VM_PASSWORD }}
port: 22
source: ".github/folder"
target: "~/aim_folder"
```

Research direction

Start with the example GitHub Actions workflow and reproduce the transfer using source ".github/folder" containing a file. Inspect how the action handles source paths and hidden entries, then verify that the hidden folder and its file appear under the target path on the remote host.
