You are mixing to different protocols, SFTP and SCP and it seems that SFTP works but SCP doesn't. It may be forbidden at the server, it is not something unusual. Can you transfer files from the remote host using scp from the command line? On Windows you can use the pscp utility that comes with PuTTY to try.

The way to transfer files through SFTP using Net::SSH2 is to open the remote file and then read from the returned remote file handle and write to a local file...

Or much easier, you can use Net::SFTP::Foreign that is a full fledged SFTP client. You can even run it on top of Net::SSH2 with the helper module Net::SFTP::Foreign::Backend::Net_SSH2.
