Thanks for the report.  But this is not the SSH list.  This is the GNU
coreutils list.  'scp' is not part of GNU coreutils.  Assuming that
you are using OpenSSH then the mailing list you want to make your
report about 'scp' is the OpenSSH list address@hidden
If you are using a different scp then respond accordingly.

When reporting this you should always report the version of the
program that you are using.  Unfortunately 'scp' does not provide any
way to obtain the version number from the program itself.  So we just
have to assume it matches the 'ssh' version.  Report the SSH version
that you are using with this.

  ssh -V

Because your output is to a pipe and is not a tty the 'scp' command
goes into quiet mode.  I don't know if there is a way to avoid that.
Best to ask on the ssh list.
