An --interactive option that behaves just like the one in cp would solve the issue for me. I would happily alias scp to scp --interactive. Is there any technical or other reason why scp does not have such an option or something similar?
Seeing that (the PUT command in) sftp doesn't have such an option, either, I suspect that it might indeed be a protocol issue.
However, one question, in case the protocol *does* allow for such an option: What do you propose should happen when an "scp --interactive" runs into one of the cases where scp has to fall back from the SFTP protocol to ye olde scp/rcp mechanisms? Ignore the option (and silently overwrite files), bug out with a fatal "not supported by server", ... ?
