Any line in a script file that begins with the # character is treated as a comment. For example:
# The following line defines the If1 IP address
add IP4Address If1_ip Address=10.6.60.10
Scripts Running Other Scripts
It is possible for one script to run another script. For example, the script my_script.sgs could contain
the line:
"
"
script -execute -name my_script2.sgs
"
"
NetDefendOS allows the script file my_script2.sgs to execute another script file and so on. The
maximum depth of this script nesting is 5.
2.1.6. Secure Copy
To upload and download files to or from the NetDefend Firewall, the secure copy (SCP) protocol
can be used. SCP is based on the SSH protocol and many freely available SCP clients exist for
almost all platforms. The command line examples below are based on the most common command
format for SCP client software.
SCP Command Format
SCP command syntax is straightforward for most console based clients. The basic command used
here is scp followed by the source and destination for the file transfer.
Upload is performed with the command:
> scp <local_filename> <destination_firewall>
Download is done with the command:
> scp <source_firewall> <local_filename>
The source or destination NetDefend Firewall is of the form:
<user_name>@<firewall_ip_address>:<filepath>.
For example: admin@10.62.11.10:config.bak. The <user_name> must be a defined NetDefendOS
user in the administrator user group.
Note: SCP examples do not show the password prompt
SCP will normally prompt for the user password after the command line but that
prompt is not shown in the examples given here.
The following table summarizes the operations that can be performed between an SCP client and
NetDefendOS:
File type Upload possible Download possible
Configuration Backup (config.bak) Yes (also with WebUI) Yes (also with WebUI)
System Backup (full.bak) Yes (also with WebUI) Yes (also with WebUI)
