(
PAN-OS 10.1.9 and later releases
) A pop-up window is displayed
requiring you to enter a clear text
Password
and then
to
Confirm Password
in order to test the SCP server
connection and enable the secure transfer of data. The firewall does not
establish and test the SCP server connection until you enter and confirm the
SCP server password. If the firewall is in an HA configuration, perform this
step on each HA peer so that each one can successfully connect to the SCP
server. If the firewall can successfully connect to the SCP server, it
creates and uploads the test file named
ssh-export-test.txt
.
