Does anyone remember the option?
The cipher name is "none".

Are you sure this is a standard option? I've tried this in the past and
never been able to make it work, and on my current system it just gives:
$ ssh -c none localhost
No valid ciphers for protocol version 2 given, using defaults.
$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-8ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8c 05 Sep 2006
Maybe the null cipher is available if you use SSH protocol version 1,
but I don't have any servers that support ssh v1 anymore.
