Thanks for the tutorial.
I implement the automatic backup for the cisco 2950 and 3750 switches ( 145 switches ) and its works fine.

Thanks for providing the great option for auto backup of cisco. But i am having the protocol error when i am doing write-memory on cisco router.
FYI i have followed your tutorial using OpenSSH for windows and the ssh is working fine on the PC but giving error on cisco while saving the config
Any Suggestions?? help is appreciated.
Thanks
