ASA show tech-support output to file.

Hi,

I've been trying to direct the output of the "show tech" command to a file on FTP server. The FTP server has been properly setup. However, I keep getting repeated errors. Could someone please help me with the correct syntax of the command? Also I would like to know, if it is possible to direct this output as an HTML file?

Thanks.

The usual way is to log the output of your telnet or ssh client to a text file, and type "show tech".

It will be a text file and doesn't do fancy formatting.

Hi,

Assuming your ftp server supports anonymous logins and write access for the destination then the following works for me:

show tech-support file ftp://1.2.3.4/tech.txt

HTH - plz rate if it does

Well, the "show tech" command on the ASA does have and ftp: and flash: keyword. Its just that I am unable to get the correct syntax. I've worked with that on the IPS 4240, and the HTML output format _really_ makes life easier for troubleshooting. However the command is entered differently on IPS, and using similar syntax doesn't seem to be working with ASA.

Hey bro, try this
show tech file ftp://user:pass@1.1.1.1/name.txt

I recommend FileZila server, you start the server, creat username, password and set direcroty to save archives...

hi,

are you able to FTP using the files currently in its flash/disk0? try to do a test FTP first and use a small file (log file or ASDM).

can you just capture the output using your terminal emulator client?
