Passwords Secured During FTP Copy
Password are masked when using FTP to copy a file to a remote system. In previous releases, the password was
entered in clear text at the end of the copy command. Starting with ArubaOS 6.4.0.0, the password is masked,
and must be entered in a separate line. If you use scripts to copy files from controllers, scripts used on
controllers running previous releases of ArubaOS must be modified to support this new password behavior.
Old syntax:
(host) #copy running-config ftp: <ftphost> <user> <password> <filename>
New syntax:
(host) #copy running-config ftp: <ftphost> <user> <filename>
Password: <password>
In the following example, the password is entered on the second line, and is displayed in masked text.
(host) #copy running-config ftp: 192.168.1.2 adminuser runconfig
Password: ********
