Is this a forwarding issue? Given that ping and telnet both behave as expected, I'm inclined to suspect either DNS (ssh likes to do reverse name lookups to be sure of who it's talking to) or entropy (if you're connecting to a box that doesn't get used much, it can take a while to gather enough entropy to come up with a sufficiently-random session key). > The second question is how does one transfer files via ssh?
