I'm almost positive scp only works with Multinet, not TCP/IP Services.  IIRC, the HP scp server errors out with something about not talking SSH 1.0, only 2.0, but in fact it is its own fault for failing to recognize the 2.0 handshake sent by the client.

If someone has a contrary example of using a modern scp client to talk to the TCP/IP Services server, I'd love to know how to make it work.
