File Transfer Operations

Occasionally, software update files or database archive files must be transferred to or from NetMRI. NetMRI supports two methods for transferring files:

  • File transfer between NetMRI and an external workstation or server using the SCP protocol.
  • File transfer between NetMRI and an external server from the administrative shell using the SCP or FTP protocol.

Although NetMRI allows the FTP client to be used for transferring files from within the administrative shell, NetMRI instances of any kind do not allow external FTP clients to send or receive files directly into the system. No FTP server is provided on NetMRI appliances or VMs.
