SCP Timeout?

Hello,
I was wondering is there a way for SCP to shorten the timeout to fail when it attempts to connect a host that is down. Seems like it takes about a minute or so for scp to timeout. This is on a AIX 5.3 box.

I saw someone suggest use -o ConnectTimeout but the scp I use doesn't have that option.
Thanks.

I suppose it is ConnectionTimeout. Check out the scp man page
