Hi, I got a "Host directive not supported as a command-line option" with Vagrant 1.4.3, had to tweak a bit:

OPTIONS=`vagrant ssh-config | grep -v '^Host ' | awk -v ORS=' ' '{print "-o " $1 "=" $2}'`

To remove a trailing empty "-o = ", prepend the awk string with NF to filter out the blank line:

OPTIONS=`vagrant ssh-config | grep -v '^Host ' | awk -v ORS=' ' 'NF{print "-o " $1 "=" $2}'`

As the hostname and user are specified via the ssh config options, they don't need to be specified again. To copy a file from the host to a Vagrant VM:

scp ${OPTIONS} $FILE v:$PATH

to copy a file from a Vagrant VM to the host:

scp ${OPTIONS} v:$PATH $FILE
