I was trying to read through the source of openssh scp.c (my c skills 
aren't much), and it looked like the "1" was a flag for last_file, for 
multiple file transfers.
Maybe it's used with "scp -r -t directory" for recursive transfers.


A patch like this would work fine against current openssh servers too. 
It seems openssh is still using the scp1 protocol, and the command that 
it issues on the other end is "scp -t ."  It's only SSH2 (with scp2) 
that is incompatible.
