Description Frank Liu 2002-05-18 07:12:40 AEST

server: running commercial ssh, with ssh2 procotol ONLY.
client: OpenSSH_3.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090601f

from the client, when I run scp to the server, I get:
scp: warning: Executing scp1 compatibility.
scp: FATAL: Executing ssh1 in compatibility mode failed (Check that scp1 is in
your PATH).

Is this a bug in the scp or is it ssh2 protocol is NOT supported?

I tried several different versions of openssh, and got the same problem with scp.

This is an issue with how SSH Corp did their ssh 2.x and above clients.  They 
decided that rcp over ssh was not good enough so they moved to sftp.  As a 
result they also renamed sftp to scp2 and pretended as if the original scp did 
not exist.  Please complain to them about breaking compatibility.  There is 
nothing we can do about it.

openssh's scp speaks RCP, openssh's sftp speaks SFTP,

ssh.com's scp and sftp both speak SFTP only, unless you install
a scp1 program.
