Secure Copy (SCP)
The scp CLI command is now available for copying files in a secure manner between hosts on the
network. The scp utility performs encrypted data transfers using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. In addi-
tion, scp uses available SSH authentication and security features, such as prompting for a password if one
is required.
Secure Shell (SSH)
The Secure Shell feature provides a secure mechanism that allows you to log in to a remote switch, to
execute commands on a remote device, and to move files from one device to another. Secure Shell
provides secure, encrypted communications even when your transmission is between two untrusted hosts
or over an unsecure network.
The OmniSwitch includes both client and server components of the Secure Shell interface and the Secure
Shell FTP file transfer protocol. SFTP is a subsystem of the Secure Shell protocol. All Secure Shell FTP
data are encrypted through a Secure Shell channel.

authentication only on the switch. By default, both password and public key authentication are allowed.
