Sorry to add more fuel to this fire, but since we're having the discussion
anyway, it bears mentioning that SCP claims to support copying files
between *two* remote machines.  (i.e., using a third machine as an
intermediate).  This breaks if ssh is running on a different port on either
machine.  There should be a way to set the port for both source and
destination.
