    That depends on the software. The "scp" command in ssh.com's Protocol
    2 software actually speaks the sftp protocol not scp, and thus *will*
    use the sftp-server subsystem.

    OpenSSH's "scp" speaks the scp protocol and so does not use sftp-server.
    It does, however, require an "scp" binary on the SSH server, not just
    sshd.

        Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
    usually comes from bad judgement.
