File Copy issue to ASA firewall standby unit using SCP

Hello,

I am using Cisco ASA5525 firewalsl in active standby mode. It is running on version 9.9. I want to upgrade it to 9.12 version.

I have copied the image file to active unit using scp. however when i try to copy the file to standby unit, it gives me below error

# failover exec mate copy /noconfirm scp://test@172.31.21.37://home/test/asa9-12-3-smp-k8.bin disk0:

Make sure 'ssh copy enable/ssh scopy enable' is on, and that ssh for that ip/subnet is enabled.

then scp from one ASA to the other

ASA# copy /noconfirm asa917-12-smp-k8.bin scp://username:password@IP_Addr/asa917-12-smp-k8.bin

I don't like having to put the password in clear text on the command line, but it doesn't seem to prompt interactively for a password. (even if I don't use /noconfirm)
