If you lose communications while running FTP, you may receive a message similar to the following:
Waiting for reply (Hit ^C to abort)...........
In this case you can press Crtl-C to abort the session or wait until the communication failure is resolved 
and the FTP transfer can continue.
Note. You must use the binary mode (bin) to transfer files via FTP.
Using Secure Shell FTP
Log on to the OmniSwitch and issue the 
 CLI command. The command syntax requires you to 
identify the IP address for the device you are connecting to. The following command establishes a Secure 
Shell FTP interface from the local OmniSwitch to IP address 10.222.30.125.
-> sftp 10.222.30.125
login as:
Note. If SFTP is not enabled on the switch, use the 
 command to enable it.
You can use the 
 command followed by the IPv6 address or hostname of the SFTPv6 server to start 
an SFTPv6 session over an IPv6 environment. For example:
-> sftp6 fe80::a00:20ff:fea8:8961 int1
login as:
Note. It is mandatory to specify the name of the particular IPv6 interface, if the SFTPv6 server has been 
specified using its link-local address.
