SCP overview
Secure copy (SCP) is based on SSH2.0 and offers a secure approach to copying files.
SCP uses SSH connections for copying files. The switch can act as the SCP server, allowing a user to log
in to the switch for file upload and download. The switch can also act as an SCP client, enabling a user
to log in from the switch to a remote server for secure file transfer.
NOTE:
