Transfer files between NX-OS switches

[Craddockc]

Dear community,

is it possible to FTP or TFTP files in bootflash between two Nexus switches. I am attempting to do so but it keeps telling me the following:

AGG-1A# copy bootflash: tftp:
Enter source filename: nxos.7.0.3.I7.6.bin
Enter vrf (If no input, current vrf 'default' is considered): management
Enter hostname for the tftp server: 10.x.x.13
Trying to connect to tftp server......
Connection to Server Established.
TFTP put operation failed:Connection timed out

I have issues the "ip tftp source-interface mgmt 0" on both switches and both switches management interfaces are on the same subnet.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks.

Hello,

The Nexus' don't support acting as TFTP Server.

You should use SFTP instead. Enable the related feature, and use the local credentials "admin" to access it.
