Endian Firewall Documentation

In order to copy a file to the Firewall you need a Secure Copy client. Linux and MacOSX installations, normally ship the tool with the distribution. For Windows, there exist several Clients you can freely download and install.
Note: SFTP is not available on Endian Firewall, you need to have Secure Copy!

If you use Linux or MacOSX:

I presume you already have installed scp on your machine.
Type the following command within an open Shell:

scp file_you_want_to_copy root@green.ip.of.your.firewall:/path/filename/where/to/store

Example:

scp openvpn.conf roo@192.168.0.15:/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf


If you use WIndows:

While there exist plenty of Free tools, we describe only one of the most used Free Secure Copy tools: WinSCP
If you have not already installed, download it from WinSCP homepage and install it on your machine.
  • Here you will find help about how to install WinSCP.
  • Here you find how to connect to a remote host.
  • Here you can learn how to upload a file with WinSCP.
