I don't think that this is a problem with FreeBSD's SSH per se. This is an issue you want to take up with the OpenSSH developers at www.OpenSSH.com (try sending mail to openssh@OpenSSH.com). However, they'll probably reply that scp can do this, albeit in a little bit more roundabout way: scp -o'PrivilegedPort no' ..does the trick for me. Anyway, I don't think that our OpenSSH maintainer would be too happy with making almost-gratuitious changes to software that is developed outside of the FreeBSD source tree. Try talking to the folks at OpenSSH.com and tell us what they think about it. G'luck, Peter -- What would this sentence be like if pi were 3?
