copy running-config scp://{hostip | hostname}/ filepath/filename
NOTE: When copying to a server, a host name can only be used if a DNS server is configured.
NOTE: When you load the startup configuration or a configuration file from a network server such as TFTP to the
running configuration, the configuration is added to the running configuration. This does not replace the existing
running configuration. Commands in the configuration file has precedence over commands in the running configuration.

Changes in Configuration Files
Configuration files have three commented lines at the beginning of the file, as shown in the following example, to help you track the last
time any user made a change to the file, which user made the changes, and when the file was last saved to the startup-configuration.
In the running-configuration file, if there is a difference between the timestamp on the “Last configuration change,” and “Startup-config
last updated,” you have made changes that have not been saved and will not be preserved after a system reboot.
