Issue

Unable to collect 'supportsaves' or 'configupload' by Secure Copy (SCP) and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) even it meets the following requirements.
 
  1. Switch is able to ping the SCP/SFTP server.
  2. SCP/SFTP server is also able to ping switch.
  3. No firewall blocking SCP or SFTP ports.
  4. Works with FTP.

SFTP Example:
switch:admin> supportsave
This command collects RASLOG, TRACE, supportShow, core file, FFDC data
and then transfer them to a FTP/SCP/SFTP server or a USB device.
This operation can take several minutes.
NOTE: supportSave will transfer existing trace dump file first, then
automatically generate and transfer latest one. There will be two trace dump
files transferred after this command.
