How can I transfer a packet capture (pcap) using the ProxySG CLI?

Products

• ProxySG Software - SGOS

Issue/Introduction

 Pre-requisites: To transfer the pcap to an external location, you must have the following:

• A properly configured FTP server. If the FTP server requires a username and password for access, gather that information before you begin.
• Network connectivity between the ProxySG and the FTP server.

To transfer the pcap file:

1. SSH into the ProxySG CLI and enter the privileged mode
2. Enter the following command to transfer the pcap file to the root folder on the FTP server:

  SGOS# pcap transfer ftp://ftpserveripaddress/filename.cap username password

Note: By default, proxy places the pcap file in the root folder. To specify a folder on the FTP server, in the path include the name of the folder just before the filename as follows:

  SGOS# pcap transfer ftp://ftpserveripaddress/path/filename.cap username password
