Acme Packet SCP transfer

Question

I am trying to backup the config.xml file on an Acme Packet device. The Acme Packet acts as an SCP server, and I need NCM to connect to it as a client.  Not sure if this is possible in the 5.5.2 version or not?  Using Putty SCP I can do it from a command line with "pscp username@192.168.1.1:/code/lrt/config.xml  c:\"  I read a post that said I needed to modify the Cisco IOS device type file to make it work.  I have done this and a session trace.  It appears that it's trying to do an scp command from the acme packet.  I need the command to run on the NCM server as a client and connect to the Acme Packet as a client.  Is this possible or not yet?

Thanks for the response.

No it doesn't seem the Acme Packet can be a client.  There are no commands in the CLI for ftp or scp to allow an outbound connection.

I had seen the scp support in 5.5.2 but wasn't sure which direction it worked.

NCM 5.5.2 and above ships our own SCP server and cannot act as a client.  Adding the ability to have the NCM application act as an SCP client would be a feature request.  I'll pass this along to our Project Manager.

Can the Acme Packet device (not familiar with the device) act as a client as well?
