SCP - File transfer Cisco switch

[RS19]

I have a plain Cisco 3650 switch. I need to transfer the running config from this switch to a PC running SCP (Solarwinds)

The PC is directly connected to the switch & the ping is reachable between the switch and the PC.

SCP is enabled in the solarwinds tool running in the PC.

When I try to tranfer the running config using SCP it is not happening. 
It says the remote host is not responding.

Not sure how to troubleshoot t.

Let me know how to troubleshoot and what basic commands are required in the swith for the successful scp transfer.

SCP is build on SSH 
so the SW need to have SSH key before it can connect to server and exchange file 
so 
add domain to SW 
generate rsa key general in SW 

then check scp again 

thanks

hi,

can you do FTP or TFTP instead?

make sure the switch can reach/ping the remote PC and there's no PC firewall blocking the app.

I want to use either SCP or SFTP. I cant use FTP or TFTP.

- your switch should have SSH key enabled
- Enable SCP with below command in switch
WS-C3650(config)#ip scp server enable
WS-C3650(config)#

Copy your running config file in flash
WS-C3650#copy running-config flash:
Destination filename [running-config]?
35490 bytes copied in 2.047 secs (17338 bytes/sec)

WS-C3650#dir
7776 -rw- 35490 Jun 26 2024 07:48:58 +03:00 running-config

from command prompt type below command with user name and switch IP

C:\IOS-XE>scp username@switchip:running-config C:\IOS-XE
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes

it will prompt for password

ok will try this. 
2 questions. 
1. Is there any way I can do SCP from the switch to the windows PC ?
2. Is there any dependency on the encrytion alogirthm supported by the switch ?

[RS19]

Any reply or help ?

Hello RS9

source switch is 10.128.228.4 and destination is 10.128.228.11
copied from 10.128.228.4 to 10.128.228.11

10.128.228.4#copy flash:cat9k_iosxe.17.06.05.SPA.bin scp://user-name@10.128.228.11
Address or name of remote host [10.128.228.11]?
Destination username [user-name]?
Destination filename [cat9k_iosxe.17.03.06.SPA.bin]?
Writing cat9k_iosxe.17.03.06.SPA.bin CCC

it will prompt for password,

Ip scp server enable and crypto key should be enabled.

Thanks
