Enter the scp command using the following syntax:. $scp file_name grpadmin@ip_address_of_array: For example: $scp kit12345678.tgz [email protected]: Make sure to include the colon (:) at the end of the IP address of the array. If you have not previously used SSH or scp with this group, the system displays a message indicating that the authenticity of the host cannot be established. If you receive this message, verify that you are connected to the correct system and type yes. b. Type the password for an account that has administrator privileges. 3. Connect to the array using telnet, SSH, or a serial connection. Connect through an IP address assigned to a network interface on the array (for example, Ethernet port 0).
