I am passing on the following information to the Office of VMS Programs:

It appears that the issue with SCP into TCPIP 5.7, is that it is trying 
to run the program TCPIP$SSH_SCP1.EXE, and generates that error message 
when it fails.

Which means that either that image is missing from the kit or it was 
never built.

 From trying to substitute tcpip$ssh_scp2.exe for it, I get a different 
error about unexpected new-line.

This means that if the issue is more complicated than just the image 
accidentally left out of the TCPIP KIT, we could probably substitute an 
open source program by assigning the logical name TCPIP$SSH_SCP1 to it.

The OpenSSH project contains an SCP1 program that will probably work.
