Uploading files to PMAC via sftp

There at two methods to upload files to PMAC:

• Using sftp from any server that connects to PMAC's IP address.
• Installing the file on PMAC as a software image.

This procedure covers the sftp method. For a procedure to install the file as a software image, see Adding a software image.

1. Enter the following command from the machine with the file you want to upload:

   sftp pmacftpusr@<ip_address>

   where <ip_address> is the IP address of the PMAC server.

   The message Connecting to <ip_address> is returned and a password prompt appears.

2. Enter the appropriate password.
   The sftp> prompt is returned.
3. At the sftp> prompt, enter the following command:
   put <filename>
   where <filename> is the file to upload.
   The following message is returned:
   Uploading <filename> to /home/smacftpusr/<filename>
4. Enter the following command to exit the sftp session and return to the command prompt:
   quit
5. Enter the following commands on the PMAC server to verify that the file is uploaded:
   cd /var/TKLC/smac/image/isoimages/home/smacftpusr/
   ls

The file is now uploaded onto the PMAC server. If you intend to install the file into the PMAC software image repository, the file is already in a location where PMAC will find it. The home directory of the pmacftpusr is part of the standard search path that PMAC uses.
