File transfer

Last Updated : Jun 15, 2021 |

Branch Gateway can be a client for the SCP, FTP, TFTP, and HTTPS protocols. Use either a USB device or the SCP, FTP, TFTP, or HTTPS protocols to transfer files between Branch Gateway and other devices. You can use file transfer to:

  • Install software and firmware upgrades on Branch Gateway

  • Install firmware upgrades on media modules

  • Backup and restore configuration settings

To use SCP/FTP/TFTP/HTTPS file transfer, you need to have an SCP, FTP server, TFTP server or an HTTPS server on your network.

Note:

If you use an SCP or FTP server, Branch Gateway prompts you for a username and password when you enter a command to transfer a file. Also, when opening an FTP connection to the S8300, all anonymous FTP file transfers are restricted to the /pub directory. Permission for anonymous FTP users to create files in other directories is denied.
