Problems getting config to copy from Cisco switch to SW SCP server

I am trying to get SCP to work from a Cisco switch to SW SCP Server. I can see the user get authenticated but the switch reports "Permission Denied" when it tries to transfer the file.
I have verified the version of IOS that I am on doesnt have any SCP bugs on it that would explain the problem I am having (12.2.55.SE).

Here is the config I am using on the cisco switch -

archive
log config
logging enable
notify syslog contenttype plaintext
hidekeys
path scp://username:password@ip_address_scp/3750G-
write-memory
time-period 1440

If I cant get this to work, I will have to get approval from Security to put up a FTP server which wont happen easily.

If anyone has gotten this to work, I would appreciate hearing how you got it to work.

Thanks,
Ron

RonaldNutter,

You may need to setup the password for the key exchange or configure to not use a password. Search on google for scp key exchange and see which configuration style best suits your needs.

I have the password set on both ends for the key exchange. Since I can see the user get authenticated on the SW SCP server screen but only run into the problem when trying to copy the config file, that is what has me looking at a possible problem on the SCP server or maybe with Windows 2008 server itself.

Havent ruled out a problem in Cisco IOS. I am waiting to hear back from Cisco at this point to see if there is an unreported/unverified bug or a possible problem with the config as I posted earlier in this message.

RonaldNutter,

Have you tried "debug ip scp" command on your device to see if it gives you more information? Is the device configured correctly for SSH? Is it limited to SSH1 or SSH2 only? Is there anything between the two devices that may be blocking/filtering communication?

--HTH
