Hi,

I want to know how i can navigate in the file system and edit file on a LMS 4.2 appliance.

One can ssh to the ADE-OS console and then change login context to shell. Once there, you're in the system's Linux OS shell and can use the standard filesystem tools. Handle with care though as your actions can have profound effects on the proper operation of the server.

look at this thread  https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2136038

Our friend steffen wrote how to create a user in the linux system.

Using that user you can use something like winscp to navigate the file system.

Cheers,

All users setting made in Linux are overwritten by LMS from startup-config during restart.

If I create user for scp access in Linux with bash shell I can use it only to OVA restart.

After restart password is reseted.

Users made from LMS have proper passwords but shell is always set carssh,sh even if I change shell in Linux.

These users cant be used by WinSCP wich accept only bash.
