I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough. Let's try again:

 [ A ] <------> [ B ]

 Two machines: A and B.
 
 Machine A runs a standard Linux distribution
 with OpenSSH client and server.
 
 Machine B runs an OpenEmbedded based Linux distribution
 with dropbear as server and putty as client.

Calling scp (in fact, pscp) on the commandline of machine B works fine
to copy files in either direction.

Calling scp on the commandline of machine A always results in returning
"scp: unknown option -t" which is the error message generated on machine B.

I see. So it's the scp part of putty which needs to be fixed to work with
"-t" ?
