Is this a bug? Probably yes. sftp accepts the flag: case '1': sshver = 1; and passes it through to ssh(1) as -oProtocol: addargs(&args, "-oProtocol %d", sshver); which then silently ignores it in readconf.c: { "protocol", oIgnore }, /* NB. silently ignored */ We should probably make it consistent with ssh and scp's handling.

Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
