Check if remote destination is available before running scp command

I have a script on a Linux box which scp the files to windows server without any issues. but there are time frames where the windows server will not be available due to maintenance. hence I need to check if the remote location is available before running the scp command.

Code:
scp /path/to/file/filename user@host:/destination/path/

I tried with ssh command to check if remote directory exists but does not work and get the error message below

Code:
ssh user@host test -d /destination/path/ && echo exists

Code:
exec request failed on channel 0

XUnmapWindow(3X11)						     MIT X11R4							XUnmapWindow(3X11)

Name
       XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

Syntax
       XUnmapWindow(display, w)
	  Display *display;
	  Window w;

       XUnmapSubwindows(display, w)
	  Display *display;
	  Window w;

Arguments
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       w	 Specifies the window.

Description
       The function unmaps the specified window and causes the X server to generate an event.  If the specified window is already unmapped, has no
       effect.	Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed.  Any child window will no longer be visible until another
       map call is made on the parent.	In other words, the subwindows are still mapped but are not visible until the parent is mapped.  Unmapping
       a window will generate events on windows that were formerly obscured by it.

       can generate a error.

       The function unmaps all subwindows for the specified window in bottom-to-top stacking order.  It causes the X server to generate an event
       on each subwindow and events on formerly obscured windows.  Using this function is much more efficient than unmapping multiple windows one
       at a time because the server needs to perform much of the work only once, for all of the windows, rather than for each window.

       can generate a error.

Diagnostics
       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
