Using PSCP.EXE to transfer files from/to ASA on Windows

Lately I've been utilizing PSCP.EXE instead of TFTP on windows system to transfer files.

To enable-

ciscoasa(config)# ssh scopy enable

Then from your windows box-
pscp.exe asa921-k8.bin admin@192.168.0.1:disk0:/asa921-k8.bin

You can backup the config by doing-

copy running-config disk0:ASA112316.txt
pscp.exe admin@192.168.0.1:disk0:/ASA112316.txt ASA112316.txt

You get the added benefit of storing a copy on the device for future review.
