[Gnu-arch-users] Re: [MERGE-REQUEST] Support for several SSH implementations

Sorry for the dupe, my first one to the list was refused because I used
my .de instead of my .net address.

Thanks :)

Let me comment on a few other things that have been mentioned.

First, 'psftp' is putty's implementation of sftp, which is the only
native windows sftp program I know of.

Secondly, tla will attempt to automatically detect one of these 4 sftp
versions by trying the binaries in the order 'ssh', 'lshc',
'whatever-the-binary-for-fsecure' and 'psftp' (or the other way around
for the last two?), attempting to auto-detect which version of the
program is being used. This means that even if you symlink 'lshc' to
'openssh', tla will do the right thing.

Yes, ARCH_SFTP_ is a better env prefix. I'll list for my excuse that
this stuff is ancient ;)
