Description Dmitry Belyavskiy 2021-09-17 00:50:50 AEST 
As we use SFTP by default, and SCP is considered insecure, we may want
to disable it totally. As scp utility doesn't use the system-wide
config, we suggest implementing it via the kill switch file.

https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/271 is the PR to add this feature.
