Upload Logs using SCP
Setting up non-interactive file transfers using SCP instead of SFTP is very useful for continuous log uploads.
Use Password-based Authentication
In order to use password-based authentication for SCP, set the password with the following nsshell command:
#nsshell> auth change-password nstransfer
This configures the password for the nstransfer admin used for uploading log files. Now you can SCP the logs by entering this command:
#scp <filename> nstransfer@<system_IP>:upload/<parser-name>
Use Public Key Authentication
If desired, the private key used for SFTP access described in the previous section can be used instead of a password by entering this command:
#scp -i <key_file><filename> nstransfer@<system_IP>:upload/<parser-name>
