jbash comments on Force Sequential Output with SCP?

[jbash]

Using scp to stdout looks weird to me no matter what. Why not

ssh -n host cat /path/to/file | weird-aws-stuff

… but do you really want to copy everything twice? Why not run weird-aws-stuff on the remote host itself?

The remote host supports SCP and SFTP, but not SSH.
