After searchng for a few hours I give up. It seems almost impossibe to
find the meaning of the exit codes for the ssh/sftp/scp binaries for
OpenSSH.

Is there anyone who can supply me with this? I need it for my automated
tasks.

sftp is an interactive command, so exit codes are irrelevant.

The others, from their man page:

ssh
ssh exits with the exit status of the remote command or with 255
if an
error occurred.

scp
scp exits with 0 on success or >0 if an error occurred.

Isn't that enough for your "automated tasks"?
