No -b (bind) with SCP?

try -oBindAddress=YOUR_IPADDRESS. The options you can pass to ssh are
documented in ssh-config(5), those are the same ones that you can write
in your .ssh/config (or /etc/ssh_config).

Bind to the correct ip (not useful, I have only one on this machine)...

emil:chris$ scp -oBindAddress=192.168.1.19 sec.txt obelix:delme.txt
sec.txt              100% |*****************************| 25510       00:00

...but you will get an error when you try to bind to the wrong one...

emil:chris$ scp -oBindAddress=192.168.1.20 sec.txt obelix:delme.txt
bind: 192.168.1.20: Cannot assign requested address
