Nice one, I'd assumed it would try to use protocol 2 first then fallback to
1, if that failed.

One gotcha I found with ssh with firewalls, is that it likes to use
privileged ports, to permit rhosts style authentication (even if you have no
intention of using it), and of course a strict firewall will deny ports <
1024. The work round for this, is to use IIRC 'ssh -p' and 'scp -L' to
avoid using privileged ports on the client.
