User manual

Download is done with the command:

> scp <source_firewall> <local_filename>

The source or destination NetDefend Firewall is of the form:

<user_name>@<firewall_ip_address>:<filepath>.

For example: admin@10.62.11.10:config.bak. The <user_name> must be a defined NetDefendOS

user in the administrator user group.

Note: SCP examples do not show the password prompt

SCP will normally prompt for the user password after the command line but that

prompt is not shown in the examples that follow.

The following table summarizes the operations that can be performed between an SCP client and

NetDefendOS:

NetDefendOS File organization

NetDefendOS maintains a simple 2 level directory structure which consists of the top level root and

a number of sub-directories. However, these "directories" such as sshlclientkey should be more

correctly thought of as object types. All the files stored in the NetDefendOS root as well as all the

object types can be displayed using the CLI command ls.

The resulting output is shown below:

gw-world:/> ls

HTTPALGBanners/

HTTPAuthBanners/

certificate/

config.bak

full.bak

script/

sshclientkey/

Apart from the individual files, the objects types listed are:

• HTTPALGBanners/ - The banner files for user authentication HTML. Uploading these is

described further in Section 6.3.4.4, “Customizing HTML Pages”.

• HTTPAuthBanner/ - The banner files for HTML ALG dynamic content filtering. Uploading

these is described further in Section 6.3.4.4, “Customizing HTML Pages”.

• certificate/ - The object type for all digital certificates.

• script/ - The object type for all CLI scripts. Scripts are described further in Section 2.1.5, “CLI
