using scp from F5 to copy file to remote location

I'm using scp to copy a file from the F5 to a remote location. When asked for the password it says: , permission denied, please try again. Of course the password is 100% correct. Why wont it let me copy the file to the remote server? Here is the script:

 

tmsh save /sys ucs ${SysName}_${Date}.ucs

 

${Delay:120}

 

scp /var/local/ucs/${SysName}_${Date}.ucs username@1.2.3.4:${SysName}_${Date}.ucs

 

password

 

When I do that it saves the file, then asks for the password.

    Can you SSH to the remote server from the same device? Just wondering if it's a special character in the password? Is the remote server running a different OS?

    Create a identity key on the remote server and use the -B swith to prevent asking for passwords or passphrase. First do a ssh to the server to save the ssh-key and then use scp with:

     

    scp -B -i @:/

      For some reason my answer was transformed in Special characters. Use scp with -B and -i which points to the identity file
