Dear all,

I'm currently facing the following situation:

My workstation has both ssh2 (.0.13) and ssh1 (.2.27) installed.
I would sometimes like to scp files between this computer and
a server that is only running ssh1. Now, copying files the other
way around (from ssh1 client to ssh2 host) was remedied some
time ago after I reported a problem on the server launching the
wrong scp; but I'm facing a similar problem the other way around
this time.

Namely, the "scp" command on my workstation starts scp2. As soon
as the ssh connection is established, the v1 server is detected
on the other end and ssh2 launches ssh1 instead on the client.
However, the scp version is not changed and the result looks like
this:

$ scp files ... ssh1-host:
Executing /usr/local/bin/ssh1 for ssh1 compatibility.
command-line line 0: Bad configuration option.
Connection lost.
$ 

Obviously, there is a perfectly simple workaround (run scp1
explicitly) but fixing this would be a worthwhile usability
enhancement IMHO.
