Cisco ASA and secure copy (SCP)

Fable

Hi All,

 

My first post here. Very excited to be part of this community!

I have been trying to setup NCM to download configs from our Cisco ASA devices. To do this, I would like to use SCP but I am running into issues. When SCP is selected as the config transfer method, the transfer fails. I have confirmed that SCP is enabled on the ASA. Downloading configs through SSH works just fine.

When I use WinSCP to log in to the ASA, I get prompted for username and password, I get authenticated but the connection times out right after that. 

I understand that this issue might have been already addressed here, but I had no luck with searching the forums. Has anyone run into this issue and/or found any remedies for it?

Again, glad to be here!!

Hello Fable,

I suspect that if they work through ssh that the login creds are fine.

Most likely, you don't have the statement in your template that relates to SCP.

You can try to copy this statement into your template.

<Command Name="DownloadConfigIndirect" Value="write net ${StorageAddress}:/${StorageFilename}"/>

 

If for any reason that doesn't work, feel free to open a case online and refer to this thread and we will get you taken care of.
