https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2203

            Bug ID: 2203
           Summary: scp hangs with -f option
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: scp
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: fuller.martin.f at gmail.com

It seems that if you run any scp command with the '-f' option it will
hang forever and perform no action.
There is no error message generated, just sits there.

Could you explain a little more what you are trying to do? 

scp doesn't take a 'f' option from users - it is not documented in
the
manual page and is only used internally to indicate that scp should be
placed in server mode.

scp -f is for internal use by scp only. It's one of the (many)
unfortunate aspects of the scp protocol we can't change
