Cisco Cisco ASR 5700 トラブルシューティングガイド

This document describes the error that occurs in some cases when sFTP (Secure File Transfer)
file transfer from the ASR5500 chassis to a sFTP server fails due to incorrect server configuration
in the SSH (secure shell) configuration file, sshd_config.

Error occurs when files are transferred from the ASR5k to a SFTP.

[local]ASR5000-2# copy /flash/test sftp://root:cisco123@10.201.251.13:22/localdisk/test

Failure: "FAILED because unable to write destination",

copy /flash/test sftp://root:cisco123@10.201.251.13:22/localdisk/test

The setting in /etc /ssh/sshd_config file:

# Change to yes to enable tunnelled clear text passwords

PasswordAuthentication no

If you use FTP protocol, the transfer is successful.

Out of the two Linux servers in the lab, it was possible to reproduce the issue on one server but

not the other. Only difference was the IP address of the server in the test.

[local]ASR5000-2# copy /flash/test sftp://root:cisco123@10.201.251.5:22/localdisk/test

[local]ASR5000-2# copy /flash/test sftp://root:cisco123@10.201.251.13:22/localdisk/test

Failure: "FAILED because unable to write destination",

copy /flash/test sftp://root:cisco123@10.201.251.13:22/localdisk/test [local]ASR5000-2#

While the server settings are reviewed, it was noticed that there was a difference between the

setting of two servers in /etc /ssh/sshd_config file. The working server had this setting:

# Change to yes to enable tunnelled clear text passwords

PasswordAuthentication yes

When this parameter is modified to yes and the service is restarted with the /etc/init.d/ssh

restart command, you can successfully transfer a file using SFTP.

[local]ASR5000-1# copy /flash/test2.cfg sftp://root:cisco123@10.201.251.13/localdisk/test2.cfg
