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!)
