Is this protocol described anywhere?

Probably the best place is the snail book.

http://www.snailbook.com/

But cribbed from putty's page, there are a number of related
standards, but no one good place so far as I can tell:

* RFC 4250: The Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Assigned Numbers *
RFC 4251: The Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Architecture * RFC
4252: The Secure Shell (SSH) Authentication Protocol * RFC 4253:
The Secure Shell (SSH) Transport Layer Protocol * RFC 4254: The
Secure Shell (SSH) Connection Protocol * RFC 4256: Generic
Message Exchange Authentication for the Secure
Shell Protocol (SSH)
* RFC 4335: The Secure Shell (SSH) Session Channel Break
Extension * RFC 4344: The Secure Shell (SSH) Transport Layer
Encryption
Modes (in part)
* RFC 4345: Improved Arcfour Modes for the Secure Shell (SSH)
Transport Layer Protocol
* RFC 4419: Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange for the Secure Shell
(SSH) Transport Layer Protocol
* RFC 4432: RSA Key Exchange for the Secure Shell (SSH) Transport
Layer Protocol
* RFC 4716: The Secure Shell (SSH) Public Key File Format * IETF
Secure Shell working group drafts:
o filexfer


Thanks. However, none of those documents have to do with the scp
protocol.

Which is why I started with suggesting the OReily book on SSH as your
best bet.


Thanks again. The snail book doesn't have much to say about the
scp protocol itself, other than it is little more than rcp over SSH. It
would seem that there are no written documents for either scp or rcp.
