Re: scp problems with RedHat Machines to Unix w/SSH

OpenSSH implements "scp" via RCP over an SSH channel.
ssh.com implement "scp" via FTP over an SSH channel.

OpenSSH's server has both implementations, but it's client only uses
the RCP version.

So if the client is OpenSSH, use "sftp" to get to an ssh.com server.
