Remote Management Commands
This chapter is a reference for commands that copy these types of files:
Start-up configuration and running configuration
System files such as boot files, core dumps, and debug logs
Users can use these commands to copy files locally or between the local device and a remote system.
The commands in this chapter use the techniques in Table P‑4-7 to remotely transfer files:
 
Table 4-7: File transfer techniques
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
No authentication or encryption; dangerous to use over the Internet, but might be acceptable in a trusted environment
Address format: tftp:[//server[:port]][/path]
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Authenticates, but does not encrypt
Address format: ftp:[//server][/path]
Secure copy (SCP)
Authenticates and encrypts using Secure Shell (SSH1)
Address format: scp:[//server][/path]
SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
Authenticates and encrypts using Secure Shell (SSH2); this is the most secure technique
Address format: sftp:[//server][/path]
Hyper text Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
Address format: http:[//server][/path] For download of running and startup configurations
This chapter contains these commands.

copy scp filepath
Use this command to copy the remote system file using SCP to the local device.
Note: OcNOS has a dedicated partition called /cfg for storing system level configurations, OcNOS configurations and license data. This is persistent across reboots and upgrades and consists of directories /cfg/ and /usr/local/etc. Copying user/general files under /cfg partition is discouraged because the size of this partition is very small and impacts normal system operations like bootup/upgrades and important system files copy when it doesn't have enough space. Users are recommended to use /home to copy the general files. Please note that the contents placed in /home directory are deleted upon software upgrade.
