scp:// is a misnomer. It does use scp as the transport for get and put,
but uses sftp for list and delete. In reality, it is the same as the
ssh:// backend. ssh utilities sftp and scp are used to accomplish the
backup, and as such, use ssh for your connection-sharing. Both use
ssh-options to set up the underlying ssh transport.
