It’s the year 2022 so can we collectively agree to stop using insecure protocols like FTP and TFTP to transfer files to and from your network devices? One of the many advantages of Arista switches is that you can use Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) which is an encrypted protocol to move files to and from them and also use the switch itself as an SCP source or destination. Years ago if you were remote and performed a firmware update to a network device you’d have to set up an FTP or TFTP server and then deal with the headaches when doing active vs. passive FTP if going through a firewall etc. With SCP it runs over port 22 (same as SSH) so in theory if you can SSH to the device you should also be able to SCP to it.
