Configuration notes
When using SCP, enter the scp commands on the SCP-enabled client, rather than the console
on the Dell PowerConnect device.
Certain SCP client options, including -p and -r, are ignored by the SCP server on the Dell device.
If an option is ignored, the client is notified.
An SCP AES copy of the running or start configuration file from the Dell PowerConnect device to
Linux WS 4 or 5 may fail if the configuration size is less than 700 bytes. To work around this
issue, use PuTTY to copy the file.
Example file transfers using SCP
The following are examples of using SCP to transfer files to and from a Dell PowerConnect device.
Copying a file to the running config
To copy a configuration file (c:\cfg\brocade.cfg) to the running configuration file on a Brocade
device at 192.168.1.50 and log in as user terry, enter the following command on the SCP-enabled
client.
C:\> scp c:\cfg\brocade.cfg terry@192.168.1.50:runConfig
If password authentication is enabled for SSH, the user is prompted for user terry password before
the file transfer takes place.
Copying a file to the startup config
To copy the configuration file to the startup configuration file, enter the following command.
C:\> scp c:\cfg\brocade.cfg terry@192.168.1.50:startConfig
Copying the running config file to an SCP-enabled client
To copy the running configuration file on the Brocade device to a file called c:\cfg\fdryrun.cfg on
the SCP-enabled client, enter the following command.
C:\> scp terry@192.168.1.50:runConfig c:\cfg\fdryrun.cfg
Copying the startup config file to an SCP-enabled client
To copy the startup configuration file on the Dell PowerConnect device to a file called
c:\cfg\fdrystart.cfg on the SCP-enabled client, enter the following command.
C:\> scp terry@192.168.1.50:startConfig c:\cfg\fdry
To overwrite the running configuration file
C:\> scp c:\cfg\brocade.cfg terry@192.168.1.50:runConfig-overwrite
