Dear colleagues,

I recently added OpenSSH 8.7p1 to rawhide.
This version includes implementation of the SFTP protocol as the main transfer protocol for the scp utility. In upstream, the SCP protocol is used by default in the scp utility. The upcoming versions 8.9p1+ (version 8.8p1 is mostly a security release) are expected to use SFTP protocol by default. This behavior (SFTP as a default transfer protocol for scp utility) is backported to rawhide.

The same approach is planned for RHEL 9 GA,

Please let me know if you have any questions/problems.

Many thanks in advance!
