Hi Balaji,

You need to install HP secure shell or openssh for scp/sftp/ssh services.

Secure shell will use encrypt/decrypt mechanism for data transfer so that it is highly secured.

You can download HP secure shell from here.

be aware that ascii transfers to / from Windows have some issues with some (most/all?) implementations of sftp. They don't convert end-of-lines like std ftp does. you need to run ux2dos or dos2ux on the files
