[Bug 634] scp incompatibility with ssh.com scp
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634

Summary: scp incompatibility with ssh.com scp
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 3.6.1p2
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: scp
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: wgs3@po.cwru.edu


It is impossible to utilize scp to copy files between a machine running OpenSSH
and one running ssh.com's SSHD from the console of the OpenSSH machine. It
first attempts to execute SSH1 compatibility, at which point it fails. I
believe that this problem is intentional (from ssh.com); however, I am
uncertain, and this precludes my use of OpenSSH as I need scp access to ssh.com
machines.

you can use sftp instead,
i don't think we will add sftp protocol support to scp soon.

ssh.com changed the protocol, but kept the binary name the same. In ssh.com's
language:

ssh1 scp == scp
ssh2 scp == sftp

Our sftp works fine with ssh.com ssh2 "scp" and our scp works fine with their
ssh1 "scp".

OTOH I'd love someone to write a scp-compatible commandline syntax for our sftp.
