Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.3p2-7
Severity: normal
Sftp ignores -o options so you can't set alternative port or another ssh
options. This command wouldn't work:
sftp login@host -oPort=1234
You must use alternative config with Port option:
echo "Port 1234" > ~/.ssh/sftp
sftp login@host
SSH client accept -o options so I think we have little bug...

The man page says:
SYNOPSIS
sftp [-1Cv] [-B buffer_size] [-b batchfile] [-F ssh_config]
[-o ssh_option] [-P sftp_server_path] [-R num_requests]
[-S program] [-s subsystem | sftp_server] host
sftp [[user@]host[:file [file]]]
sftp [[user@]host[:dir[/]]]
sftp -b batchfile [user@]host
As documented, options come first, so use 'sftp -oPort=1234 login@host'.
Relaxing this could change behaviour for people using the second usage
format to copy files beginning with '-', so I'd rather not.
Cheers,
