Information About Secure Copy

To configure the 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 information about how to configure and verify SCP, see the "Secure Copy Protocol" section in the
