Think of scp1 as a protocol, not a simple application. It requires
the support of the SSH1 protocol in order to work.

No recent OpenSSH installation I have seen has had an scp2 application.
SSH Comm. installations here and everywhere I go with SSH have been
replaced with OpenSSH, so I have no way of telling if SSH Comm,
has an scp2 command. But why worry about it when ssh with redirections
will do the same job?
