Hello. I an new to NPM and NCM but I must say, they are a HUGE time saver.
I'm still getting everything dialed in, but I have a small problem. I am trying to setup SCP using the built-in SCP server on my NPM/NCM server. However, when I try to use my laptop to access the files, it simply says "scp: Failed to open file /.". It says this regardless of the paths I put. Login seems to function fine. The SCP server shows a successful login and even logs a successful attempt to download a file, but it bombs on the client side.
My setup is as follows: the server is a Windows 2008 x64 R2 server running both NCM 6.1 and NPM 10.1.1. The SCP server is setup using the defaults. My client is an UBUNTU 10.04 laptop using standard CLI SCP.
I use SCP frequently to transfer files between Linux servers, but I'm stumped as to why this isn't working. I've added "ANONYMOUS LOGON" rights to the server side directory as a final grasp to get it working, but that didn't work either. SFTP works fine, but this would be a bear to script. I'm trying to download the Config-Archive directory to my laptop. I'm a network engineer and frequently get to places that do not have Internet access so I'm unable to look at my NCM server. Having these locally is helpful for grepping configs and copying the redundant parts of all my configs. I currently use a manual process and do diffs using an SVN repository on my laptop. Obviously in an emergency, having these on my laptop isn't very helpful to the personnel on call who doesn't know a Cisco from a can of Crisco. I'm hoping NCM can help get me past this one last hurdle.
