execute scp

copies files to/from a remote host using the SCP service

Synopsis

execute scp attempts to copy files to or from a remote host using the SCP service.

If copying from a remote host to the local machine, include the --read flag; if copying from the local machine to a remote host, do not include the flag.

Also include:

• the local filepath (or local destination for a remote file) to the --local.file flag;
• the remote filepath (or remote destination for a local file) to the --remote.file flag, and
• any other --remote flags required to connect.

Furthermore:

• If writing to a remote host, the --local.file must be located in one of /exchange, /opt/forticlientems, or /var/log/forticlientems (or subfolders of these folders)
• If reading from a remote host, --local.file must be located in either /exchange or /opt/forticlientems (or subfolders of these folders)
