scp doesn't have a 'Use non privileged port' switch

[Christian Kurz]

Hi,

and another feature request that I got from a debian user and that I
think should be included in openssh. Thanks.

|Unlike the 'old' ssh (Package: ssh; Version: 1.2.26-1.2)'s scp
|openssh's scp does not support the -L option which according to
|old ssh's manpage does the following:

|>        -L    Use non privileged port. With this  you  cannot  use
|>              rhosts   or rsarhosts authentications, but it can be
|>              used to bypass some firewalls that dont allow privi­
|>              leged  source  ports  to  pass.  Same  as saying "-o
|>              UsePriviledgePort=no" or -P to ssh; -L is  used  due
|>              to exhaustion of suitable letters.

|This can and does break scripts and is esp. nasty behind firewalls.

Ciao
     Christian
