openssh unix dev - Aug 2000 - Port forwarding with scp

Hi,

What do you think of disabling port forwardings configured in
~/.ssh/config with scp. Copying of files is shorter or longer but
still only temporary process. Moreover, when you have one session
opened and used for "real" forwardings, you can't use scp for the
remote host, as the forwardings can't be established again (ports are
busy).

/S

usually you do this:
	% cat .ssh/config
	Host bla+fwd
		Hostname bla
		LocalForward ....
and
	% scp file bla:/tmp
works fine.

if you want to have forwards, explicitly say:
	% ssh bla+fwd

-m
