If you lose communications while running FTP, you may receive a message similar to the following:
Waiting for reply (Hit ^C to abort)...........
In this case you can press Crtl-C to abort the session or wait until the communication failure is resolved
and the FTP transfer can continue.
Note. You must use the binary mode (bin) to transfer files via FTP.
Using Secure Shell FTP
1 Log on to the OmniSwitch and issue the sftp CLI command. The command syntax requires you to
identify the IP address for the device you are connecting to. The following command establishes a Secure
Shell FTP interface from the local OmniSwitch to IP address 10.222.30.125.
-> sftp 10.222.30.125
login as:
Note. If SFTP is not enabled on the switch, use the scp-sftp command to enable it.
You can use the sftp6 command followed by the IPv6 address or hostname of the SFTPv6 server to start
an SFTPv6 session over an IPv6 environment. For example:
-> sftp6 fe80::a00:20ff:fea8:8961 int1
login as:
Note. SFTPv6 sessions are supported only on OmniSwitch 6850 or 9000. It is mandatory to specify the
name of the particular IPv6 interface, if the SFTPv6 server has been specified using its link-local address.
2 You must have a login and password that is recognized by the IP address you specify. When you enter
your login, the device you are logging in to, will request your password as shown here.
-> sftp 10.222.30.125
login as: rrlogin2
rrlogin2's password for keyboard-interactive method:
