Configuring SCP

You can use the SCP protocol to transfer the software images. While using SCP protocol, the

CiscoWorks server acts like a client and the device acts like a server.

To configure a device as a SCP server, see this URL:

To configure the CiscoWorks server as a SCP client, you must enter the SSH credentials. See

Configuring Telnet and SSH Access for further details.

You can use the rcp protocol to transfer the software images. The CiscoWorks server acts like a rcp server

and the device acts like a client.

To configure rcp:

• Configuring rcp on Solaris

• Configuring rcp on Windows

To configure rcp on Solaris:

Creating the rcp Remote User Account

To use rcp, you must create a user account on the system to act as the remote user to authenticate the rcp

commands issued by devices. This user account must own an empty.rhosts file in its home directory to

which the user, casuser has write access.

You can choose the name of this user account because you can configure the RME server to use any user

account.

The default user account name is cwuser. The examples in this procedure use the default name cwuser.

If you choose to use a different name, substitute that name for cwuser.

To create and configure the rcp remote user account, follow these steps while logged in as root:

Step 1 Enter:

# useradd -m -c “user account to authenticate remote copy operations” \ cwuser
