Hi.

When i try to execute scp command:

scp -r /localhostdirectory username@remotehostservername:/remotehostdirectory

I get the following error

0509-036 Cannot load program /usr//bin/ssh because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module /homepath/server/bin/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.8) could not be loaded.
0509-153 File /homepath/server/bin/libcrypto.a is not an archive or
the file could not be read properly.
0509-026 System error: Cannot run a file that does not have a valid format.

This is not urgent for any one of us. We are all volunteers here and demanding help 'ASAP' is considered rude.
Edit your title to something more descriptive.

ok but this is urgent for me!!!

Yet, you haven't done as crts suggested and edited the title.

im not able to change the subject

Not a valid reason to be so rude. As already told, we all here at LQ are volunteers. Urgency is related only to our own work or family matters, not to the LQ activity! If you want urgent help, pay for an Enterprise edition and demand for 24/7 online or phone support.

Regarding your issue, it's not clear if the problem is on the local server or the remote server. In both cases try to run the ldd command on the ssh executable to see what shared libraries are missing.
Then look for the package providing the missing files and install it. If you're not the owner of these machines, ask to the system administrator reporting the maximum amount of information you can provide and by asking kindly.

I suppose there is a conflict in the version of libcrypto. Kindly do the following and see if it works. Navigate yourself to
/homepath/server/bin/ and check the filename associated to libcrypto.so for example it might be libcrypto.so.0.9.7 instead of libcrypto.so.0.9.8 which is reqd for the command to execute if that is the case simply do the following
