Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

This command enables you to upload files from the local device to a remote SFTP server to view the file contents or back up the files. For example, you can upload log files of a device to an SFTP server and view the logs in the server. During an upgrade, you can upload the configuration file of the device to the SFTP server for backup.

Precautions

If remote-filename is not specified, the uploaded file is saved on the remote SFTP server with the original file name.
If the specified remote-filename is the same as an existing file name on the SFTP server, the uploaded file overwrites the existing file on the server.

The file system has a restriction on the number of files in the root directory. Therefore, if more than 50 files exist in the root directory, creating new files in this directory may fail.
