Using archive download-sw command with scp

Cisco42

I am receiving an error while trying to use the archive download-sw command. I have verified connectivity to my FTP server (ping and ran a successful "copy" command). I am upgrading a 3560-X running 12.2.55 to 15.2.4. Below is the output:

 

SW1#archive download-sw scp://<user>:<password>@<IP address>/Cisco/IOS/c3560e-universalk9-tar.152-4.E10.tar

Could not buffer tarfile...using multiple downloads
examining image...
%Error opening scp://<user>:<password>@<IP address>/Cisco/IOS/c3560e-universalk9-tar.152-4.E10.tar (No such file or directory)
%Error opening flash:update/info (No such file or directory)
ERROR: Image is not a valid IOS image archive.

 

I see examples of TFTP and RCP but is SCP or SFTP supported?

How to Ask The Cisco Community for Help

I was hoping to run the "archive download-sw" command over the "copy" command in order to reap the benefits. Check feature set compatibility, Check software compatibility, boot string change, etc. 

 

I will use copy if necessary (used in the past). 

Enable IP ssh version 2 it works
