    <thetext>A relatively recent update to OpenSSH means that now a `-O` option to `scp` is required to use the legacy SCP protocol instead of SFTP. The `devtool deploy-target` command currently has no way of presenting users with this option.</thetext>

    <thetext>Nathaniel, 
We need more details, ideally specific steps to reproduce.

Or just send a patch:
   https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/index.html
and explain in the commit log.</thetext>

    <thetext>To be honest, at this point after the passage of time, I don&apos;t think we want to support a legacy protocol which is known to be insecure. I&apos;m therefore not sure we would accept a patch along these lines now.</thetext>
