Using Secure copy with SSH2
Using Secure copy with SSH2
Secure Copy (SCP) uses security built into SSH to transfer image and configuration files to and from
the device. SCP automatically uses the authentication methods, encryption algorithm, and data
compression level configured for SSH. For example, if password authentication is enabled for SSH,
the user is prompted for a user name and password before SCP allows a file to be transferred. No
additional configuration is required for SCP on top of SSH.
You can use SCP to copy files on the device, including the startup configuration and running
configuration files, to or from an SCP-enabled remote host.
Enabling and disabling SCP
SCP is enabled by default and can be disabled. To disable SCP, enter the following command.
TurboIron(config)#ip ssh scp disable
Syntax: ip ssh scp disable | enable
NOTE
If you disable SSH, SCP is also disabled.
NOTE
When using SCP, enter the scp commands on the SCP-enabled client, rather than the console on the
device.
NOTE
Certain SCP client options, including -p and -r, are ignored by the SCP server on the device. If an
option is ignored, the client is notified.
Example file transfers using SCP
The following are examples of using SCP to transfer files to and from a device.
Copying a file to the running config
To copy a configuration file (c:\cfg\brocade.cfg) to the running configuration file on a device at
192.168.1.50 and log in as user terry, enter the following command on the SCP-enabled client.
C:\> scp c:\cfg\brocade.cfg [email protected]:runConfig
If password authentication is enabled for SSH, the user is prompted for user terry password before
the file transfer takes place.
Copying a file to the startup config
To copy the configuration file to the startup configuration file, enter the following command.
C:\> scp c:\cfg\brocade.cfg [email protected]:startConfig
