we have problems here because our firewall blocks connection from priviliged ports from inside the DMZ to the internet. When using ssh I can give the option "-P" so ssh connects from a non-priviliged port. But this option is missing in scp (-P in scp does something else).
Any clue how I can change the behaviour of scp?
Excerpt from the scp-manpage: -L Use non privileged port. With this you cannot use rhosts or rsarhosts authentications, but it can be used to bypass some firewalls that dont allow privi leged source ports to pass. Same as saying "-o UsePriviledgePort=no" or -P to ssh; -L is used due to exhaustion of suitable letters. Hope that helps Johannes Geiger
