Redirecting show Command Output Using sscp

You can use the Streamed Secure Copy Protocol (sscp) to redirect the show command output to a file on a
remote server.

You must create a named Secure Shell (SSH) connection before using sscp.
Note
The following example shows how to copy show command output to a remote server using sscp:
switch# ssh name mybox testuser 172.23.152.34
testuser@172.23.152.34's password: Ctrl-C
switch# show running-config | sscp mybox /users/testuser/sscp_output
