  1. Is there certain images that support SCP by default? I know with Junos you need to have the local version for SSH/SCP.

    I tried adding the SCP configuration but the option was not available also SCP was not included in features available.

    By the way I enjoyed listening to the Packet Pushers Podcast about the Nexus series you were in. :)

  5. Also can need shell tweaking if running winscp and getting the "your shell is probably incompatible" error, along the lines of "Edit->Advanced->SC/Shell and set Shell to "run guestshell sudo su"
