Thanks .But i prefer use a powershell script  to connect to SSH and then launch backup command

For some alternatives, using either pscp.exe from Putty or DLLs, see here:

With linux I did it like this:

#! /usr/bin/expect -f set timeout 8000 set date [clock format [clock seconds] -format {%Y%m%d}] spawn ssh <forti user>@<forti ip> expect "password: " send "<forti password>" expect "$ " send "execute backup full-config ftp $date-backup <ftp server ip> <ftp server user> <ftp server user password> expect "$ " send "exit\r"

hm looks a bit the long way :) It will of course do the trick. But maybe you need less code if you just scp your config instead of doing ssh to the FGT and then exec a backup and upload it to a ftp server?

Here is a KB Article that describes how to do that via scp: http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/viewContent.do?externalId=12002

Also there is an older Thread to be found in fortinet forums which is about this: https://forum.fortinet.com/tm.aspx?m=114055

To do scp in powershell you might aswell use freeware like putty's pscp or similar if you don't want/have ps plugins for it. This would then not even require powershell but just a cmd :)

Hi, I'm have batch and bash scripts for backup tasks of my Fortigates. I can share them if you like. Best regards.
