File transfer

File transfer
In some cases you may need to transfer files (certificates or configuration) to the controller.
Commands that have this capability typically include
<uri>
or
<url>
in their parameter list.
Note
When you enter the commands discussed here, the files are transferred immediately.
File transfer can be performed in two ways.
A.
The controller gets the file using a URL
Transfer a certificate file using ftp. For example:
certificate ipsec ca ftp://ftp.example.com/certificate/my-root-certificate.pem
B.
Send a file to the controller
Using SFTP (available with OpenSSH or SSH), authenticate with the CLI credentials. Then
send the file to the controller. For example:
sftp msm710.mycompany.com
>login: admin
>password: ****
>put my-root-certificate.pem
file transferred (1k)
>quit
In the CLI, use the local://< > parameter in the URL. Replace < > with the
filename you used to transfer using SFTP. For example:
CLI(config)# certificate ipsec ca local://my-root-certificate.pem
