Please provide more information, such as, for example, which Linux distro you are using.

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

What distribution and version are you using?

Please post the output of the following command:
As an aside, the latest versions of Windows come with OpenSSH. You can use it at the command prompt.

To extend what rkelsen is saying, if /tmp is a directory, you expect to see something like this (notice the "d"):

drwxrw-xr-x ... This means "directory."

Or you might find an "l" (ell ...) instead, which means that it's actually a "symbolic link." In which case you will find at the end of the same line: -> somewhere-else. Which means that it "refers to" somewhere-else, and that is the location which must exist. (Use ls -la somewhere-else to check it out.)

If you don't find an entry for /tmp at all, it means that something or someone deleted it ... highly unusual. But it's entirely possible that it's a symbolic-link to somewhere that is now gone. (Your job, next, is to find out why.)

P.S.: I presume that you are not attempting to do this "in a container."
