that's not quite correct.
ssh.com's sftp2 and scp2 use the sftp protocol over ssh protocol v2
openssh's scp uses the rcp protocol over ssh protocol v1 and v2
openssh's sftp uses the sftp protocol over ssh protocol v1 and v2
so if you want to use an openssh client to get files from a
ssh.com server you have to use 'sftp' since 'scp' does not
implement the 'sftp' protocol.
however, you can use openssh's sftp in batchmode, see sftp(1).
