Information About Secure Copy
To configure Secure Copy feature, you should understand these concepts.
The behavior of SCP is similar to that of remote copy (rcp), which comes from the Berkeley r-tools suite,
except that SCP relies on SSH for security. SCP also requires that authentication, authorization, and
accounting (AAA) authorization be configured so the router can determine whether the user has the
correct privilege level.
A user who has appropriate authorization can use SCP to copy any file in the Cisco IOS File System
(IFS) to and from a switch by using the copy command. An authorized administrator can also do this
from a workstation.
For more information on how to configure and verify SCP, see the “Secure Copy Protocol” chapter of
the Cisco IOS New Features, Cisco IOS Release 12.2, at this URL:
