Exporting files via SCP

Confirm the existence of the file you want to export (tech-support, core files, etc)

show system files

Copy the file from the specific plane to your external host

scp export core-file <control-plane/data-plane0/data-plane1/data-plane2/management-plane> from filename.bin to <user@host:path>

You can use this procedure to automate backup export as well

save config to fw1-config
scp export configuration from running-config.xml to username@host-ip:path

If you want to reverse the process, just import the external file

scp import configuration from name@host:path/xyz.xml
