Use the -v switch.
Look at the debugging output for "Local version string".
For SSH1: the local version string will show 1.5 (or 1). Also look at
other debugging output for "RSA1". Also, usually with SSH1 it uses
identity file named "identity".
For SSH2, the local version string should show 2.0 (or 2). If you see
anything with SSH2_MSG_* then it is SSH2. Usually with SSH2, it uses
identity file id_rsa or id_dsa.
(I use a custom ssh1, called fressh, that has client and server
improvements to fix the security issues with ssh1.)
