No, I think that is not the case because of the following:

- I can ssh to this machine
- I tried it in both directions (i. e. issuing the scp command also on
  the remote host in a ssh session)
- it works with my old ISP
- it works with scp2 (commercial version)

Nothing fancy:

Jun 15 14:20:23 paprika sshd[13368]: Accepted publickey for pitt from 217.80.147.122 port 33024 ssh2
Jun 15 14:20:24 paprika PAM_unix[32033]: (ssh) session opened for user pitt by (uid=1016)

Authentication works properly as I already explained. The connection
is reset as soon as the data transfer is to be started.

Negative (see above), scp works on this server. sftp gives exactly the
same error message.

Thanks for your answer, for future hints and have a nice day!
