Your remote host returns as `uname -r' "Linux 2.6.18-6-686". I doubt,
that there is no scp installed.

And it isn't a missing remote scp who causes the trouble. In your
traces, I'll see:

That means, that the scp command has connected your remote host, but
the remote host was unwilling to speak with you. Maybe you can find
some information about in the remote host's log files. You might run
scp commands as given above in your terminal, plus an additional "-v"
for verbose information.

If you cannot convince scp to cooperate with that remote host, you
could consider ssh as transfer method.

Best regards, Michael.
