protocol error, doesn't start with scp!

in lieu of any actual ansible modules, i am trying to make raw ssh commands work to an ICX 7750 switch, but even "ssh "show version"" fails with the following error "Protocol error, doesn't start with scp!".  This works on Cisco devices.  How can i enable the ssh service on the switch, or the ssh client to make this functionality work?

For anyone who is still running into this error when trying to use the official Ansible modules for ICX, make sure that you're using "transport = network_cli".  Ansible's default transport is "smart" and causes the "protocol error, doesn't start with scp!" error.
