Back to Secure Platform


To enable users to SCP to a SecurePlatform device you will need to edit the /etc/scpusers file.

The can be achieved using the following steps:

  1. Enter the Expert mode.
  2. Create the /etc/scpusers file.
  3. Open the scpusers file with a text editor such as vi.
  4. Add all authorized users, list one per line.


Note: Only users listed in this file will be allowed to use scp.

Note: You can also run the following command instead of steps 2-4.

"echo <username> >> /etc/scpusers"

Note: It may also be necessary to change the shell for the user for this to work - Changing a users default shell
