This command enables SCP server functionality for SCP push operations on the switch, which allows files to be transferred from the host device to the switch using the SCP protocol. During an SCP file transfer operation, the management operations on the switch are blocked. After the completion of file download to the switch, the switch performs file validations similar to other download operations executed via the copy command.
To allow the SCP file transfers from the host system to the switch, the SCP server must be enabled on the switch.

The transfer is initiated via the CLI on the host system, and not from the LCOS SX CLI. The following examples show the syntax for SCP push commands executed on a PC host for configuration and firmware images.
- scp <config file> user@<scp server IP>:startup-config
- scp <config file> user@<scp server IP>:backup-config
- scp <config file> user@<scp server IP>:config
- scp <config file> user@<scp server IP>:firmware
- scp <config file> user@<scp server IP>:<scriptfile.scr>
- scp <image file> user@<scp server IP>:active
- scp <image file> user@<scp server IP>:backup
