           Summary: sftp doesn't honor "Protocol 1" in config file
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.6.1p2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: sftp
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: cduffy at spamcop.net


Accessing Savannah (which does not support SSH protocol 2), the following fails:
  sftp USERNAME at savannah.nongnu.org
  sftp -F ~/.ssh/config USERNAME at savannah.nongnu.org
even when ~/.ssh/config contains the snippet:
  Host savannah.gnu.org
    Protocol 1
whereas "sftp -1 USERNAME at savannah.nongnu.org" succeeds.

This implies that the "Protocol 1" directive is not being honored by sftp.

This is a real problem for folks using software which calls sftp without
permitting the user to specify command line arguments. (tla, a revision control
system with support for hosting repositories on sftp servers, is one such piece
of software).
