Using SCP and Putty

[#1]

I' m trying to use Putty to SCP to a 50B and keep getting a ' Protocol error: Expected control record" error message. I' ve done a search and can' t see any mention of this, does anybody else get this issue?

are you talking about SSH? If so you need to check SSH under your local network interface and allowed connections

ssh needs to be enabled and scp needs to be enabled as well on the fortigate. Fortinet only allows you to copy the config file using scp.

SSH is enabled on the interface and SCP is enabled globally under ' System->Admin->Settings' . I can log in fine using SSH and PuTTY SCP running in verbose shows the connection opening, negotiating, authenticating and so on. According to the PuTTY FAQ this is a problem with the server sending extraneous characters when SCP starts. I' ll try it with a different SCP client later.

Sorry, should have said why I' m doing this. I' m trying to get the config off using scp, as set out in the admin guide and a few other places online.
