Enabling SCP and SFTP

Procedure
  1. Open an SSH session as you normally would to establish a secure encrypted tunnel between your computer and the switch. Please note that this is a one-time procedure for new switches or connections. If you have already done it once you should not need to do it a second time.
  2. For more detailed directions on how to open an SSH session, see the access security guide.
  3. To enable secure file transfer on the switch (once you have an SSH session established between the switch and your computer), open a terminal window and enter the following command: 
    switch(config)# ip ssh filetransfer
