Hmmmm... I hope that is not true. I hope this is on topic because I think it
is an issue with installing ssh. I get the following error when I try the
command above:
No matching comp found: client zlib server none,zlib@openssh.com
I tried leaving off the -o and compression flags, but this did not help. I
got the same error until I removed the -C and then it did not even give me
an error message (and still did not work).
Thanks,
Siegfried
