Prime Infrastructure 3.10 FTP and SCP Fail

[R Tillman]

I am trying to transfer the 3.10.2 file to the server so I can upgrade from 3.10 to 3.10.2. I am trying use WinSCP on a windows computer to send the file from.

When I use FTP, I get "Could not retrieve directory listing Permission Denied"

  - I set the ftp user username/password and used that.

When I use SCP, I get "Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (BASH is recommended)."

 - I use the same username/password that I use to SSH to the server and it works.

Any help would be appreciated to get the upgrade file onto the server.

          - Why don't you flip the roles and start copy from  Prime instead of to Prime ?

Hi

   The user for SCP on Prime is not the same as root. Run the command "/opt/CSCOlumos/bin/getSCPCredentials.sh"

 The output will be the username and password. Then, use it on the windows client.

Make sure you are transfering to SCP directory otherwise you may have privilege problems

This is what I get

ade # /opt/CSCOlumos/bin/getSCPCredentials.sh
find: failed to restore initial working directory: Permission denied

Right. You are not root then. You need to be root.

Thank you, this is what it works.

Log in to Prime CLI

Then shell/shell password

Then "sudo su -"

Then "/opt/CSCOlumos/bin/getSCPCredentials.sh"
