Hi Jason,

 

 

I have followed the new iAPP that you have pointed to me I have setup everything correctly and from F5 CLI i can upload file without password as SCP and SFTP however when I setup the via GUI it doesnt work I think because I am doing something wrong for "Enter the SSH private key to be used for passwordless authentication" and "Set the remote directory the archive should be copied to"

 

 

Is there log file I can look at to toubleshoot this issue?

 

 

for SSH private key should it be the id_rsa (under

 

/root/.ssh) and for

 

Set the remote directory the archive should be copied to does it use "\" or "/"

 

 

Can you please help me?

 

 

Thanks
