The exact format of the source and destination URLs varies according to the file. Here are the valid

types:

• ftp:—Source or destination URL for an FTP network server. The syntax for this prefix is:

ftp://[[username@] location]/relativeDirectory]/filename

ftp://[[username@]location]//absoluteDirectory]/filename

• scp:—Source or destination URL for the SCP network server. The syntax for this prefix is:

scp://[[username@] location]/relativeDirectory]/filename

scp://[[username@] location]//absoluteDirectory]/filename

Note If you use FTP or SCP protocol, you are prompted for a password. If you use SCP protocol,

you must also add the remote host to the SSH known hosts list.

• http:—Source URL for the web server. The syntax for this prefix is:

http://[[username@]location]/directory]/filename

• https:—Source URL for the web server. The syntax for this prefix is:

https://[[username@]location]/directory]/filename

Note HTTP and HTTPS prompt for a password if a username is required to access the website. If

you use HTTPS protocol, the remote host must be a TLS trusted host.

Caution Copying a configuration file from another sensor may result in errors if the sensing interfaces and virtual

sensors are not configured the same.

Step 1 Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
