If you typed
. ssc copy mypkg
you would indeed get an error. There is no
file -mypkg- on SSC.
. ssc desc mypkg
tells you that there are two files mypkg.ado
and mypkg.hlp in the packages. Thus you
type
. ssc copy mypkg.ado
. ssc copy mypkg.hlp
Thus you should, as below, type the filename.
That said, it is usually much better to use
-ssc inst-, as you are now able to do.

(e.g., trying to
-ssc copy mypkg- produced an odd error saying that the
package could not
be located at SSC!)
