ACS - Failed to import file

[expertirs]

Hi!

I do some tests on the ACS through the CLI.

I'd like to import files from a remote repository to test the "import-data" command.

I created a repository from the CLI and when I do a "show repository", I can see the content of the directory.

When I execute the command "import-data", I have the error "Unable to import file "<filename>" from remote repository "repository_name"

What could be the cause?

I use a linux sftp server.

Hi Angelique,

ACS uses SCP for file transfer and SFTP for "show repository".

Does your Linux SFTP support SCP?

Run:

debug transfer 7

debug copy 7

and share that please.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for your reply. The SFTP server supports SCP, indeed.

I did your debug command and saw that there is a "host-key" issue :

3 [6256]: transfer: sftp_copy.c[188] [daemon]: sftp_copy ERROR: host-key option is not configured
3 [6256]: transfer: sftp_copy.c[258] [daemon]: sftp_copy ERROR: command execution failed

Seems to be the initialization of the connection....

Hey,

You are missing this:

host-key sync

Hi,

I use a linux based system with version 5.4 of ACS.

Please check the user permission:

Only users who have CRUD permissions to a specific configuration object in the GUI can import that particular configuration data to an ACS local store.

Hi Ed,

Thanks a lot for your reply!

I didn't know this command. It works fine now!
