F5 Auto backup script for SCP for V12

Thanks for sharing the docs, I tried to follow the steps mentioned in the above docs.

The remote server in which I want to transfers the files is windows server and my F5 is running on linux version(Linux version 2.6.32-431.56.1.el6.)

First I tried to shared the keys by command line. I got below error.

abcd@1.2.3.4's password: exec request failed on channel 0 <<<<<<

Then I did scp to transfer the keys from F5 to window server.

.ssh scp /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub abcd@1.2.3.4:/ abcd@1.2.3.4's password: id_rsa.pub 100% 420 0.4KB/s 00:00

It was successful but after that when I tried to run my script got same problem, password prompt.

admin bash bigipbackup.sh Saving active configuration... /var/local/ucs/date_xyz.ucs.ucs is saved. abcd@1.2.3.4's password: date_xyz.ucs.ucs 100% 6677KB 6.5MB/s 00:01

Any suggestion how password prompt can be avoid?

Hello,

Is it possible to scp (transfer) files from linux (F5) machine to the window server?

Hello,

Can someone pls confirm me if, Is it possible to scp (transfer) files from linux (F5) machine to the window server?

Can you try some thing like this...

    scp "/var/local/ucs/${UCS_FILENAME}.ucs" abcd@1.2.3.4:/
    echo "password"

I am gusseting once unix system ask password, echo will pass that.

Other option is to use

sshpass

sshpass -p "password" scp "/var/local/ucs/${UCS_FILENAME}.ucs" abcd@1.2.3.4:/

Install tool

sudo apt-get install sshpass

Follow the link

I tried this: scp "/var/local/ucs/${UCS_FILENAME}.ucs" abcd@1.2.3.4:/ echo "password"

It's not working, when I tried to run the script, I am still got password prompt and after that it printed my password in plain text.

I also tried to foll the step 2, but encountered with below error:

admin sudo apt-get install sshpass bash: sudo: command not found

admin apt-get install sshpass bash: apt-get: command not found

Device is running on below Linux version:

Linux version 2.6.32-431.56.1.el6. (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3) (GCC) )
