SCP files from OpManager using configlets

SCP files from OpManager using configlets

OpManager can transfer files to MMX radios, this ability to push a file to the radio was added to help with firewall rules that prevented the MMX radio from getting a file. The firewall rule typically allowed SCP from the secure side out to a radio, but blocked any request by the radio to initiate the transfer.
  1. The OpManager server will use the credentials loaded in NCM to authenticate, so no additional user or passw are required.
  2. The transfer is done using normal configlet procedure in NCM which means you can write and test teh configlet and it can be executed on single or multiple radios or groups.
  3. The source file must be in a directory that OpMnager can access, we have used the server directoy "/home/[username]/" directory for users.
  4. The destination folder is always '/tmp/upload/" on the MMX radio
Create a configlet in Script Execution mode. Please use the following format in configlet for SCP transfer. 
scp_transfer "<source-file-path-in-ncm-server>" "<destination-file-path-in-device>"
Example: scp_transfer "/home/tech/test.bfe" "/tmp/upload/"
