What do you mean you can "scp from our main servers at work"?  Which
computer are you downloading files /from/?  Ubuntu comes with the ssh
client software, but if you want it to act as an ssh server (for example
to allow clients to initiate downloads from an Ubuntu machine), you must
install ssh server software with the command above.
