Using Adhoc SCP/SFTP on Managed Devices¶

In this example we will copy an OS file from the Lantronix file directory to a Cisco ASA Firewall.

Navigate to the port the device is connected to and terminal in.

[admin@Lantronix (port2/4)]# terminal 

Press ~[ENTER] to exit. 


Connecting ...


Retrieving running-config from device ...
Complete. running-config pulled. 
running-config saved to archive as current.

Console session started.  Press ~[ENTER] to exit.
CISCO-FIREWALL#

Enable the interactive SCP server by typing ~g (the Lantronix escape character tilde with the letter g).

Enable SFTP/SCP server? (y/n) [y]:                                
SFTP/SCP enabled as port2_4:bWZo3N94RBjTJYl                      
Host 198.51.100.1 or 203.0.113.248                         
Disable the SFTP/SCP server? (y/n) [n]:                                          
CISCO-FIREWALL#

Enter the device's SCP (or SFTP) commands on the device. In this example we use the dedicated IP address as the host.

CISCO-FIREWALL# copy scp: flash:

Address or name of remote host []? 198.51.100.1

Source username []? port2_4

For Source filename, the syntax is /port/category/version/filename with an underscore (_) in the port name. See The Lantronix File System for more info on the different files for managed devices.

Source filename []? /port2_4/os/candidate/asa991-lfbff-k8.SPA

Destination filename [asa991-lfbff-k8.SPA]?

Password:

Enter the password that was randomly generated when the SCP server was started (in this example 'bWZo3N94RBjTJYl').
