Using Command Line Reference
You can make changes to your appliance with the WebUI or Command Line Interface (CLI). When using CLI note these aspects:
-
The CLI default shell (Gaia Clish) covers all the operations that are supported from the WebUI. It also supports auto-completion capabilities, similar to Gaia. For advanced operations that require direct access to the file system (such as redirecting debug output to a file), log in to Expert mode.
-
SSH to the appliance is supported and is enabled through the WebUI.
-
You can enable login directly to expert mode.
To do this:
-
Login to the Expert mode using the Expert mode password.
-
Run this command:
bashUser on
From now, you always log in directly to the Expert mode.
To turn this mode off, run this command:
bashUser off
-
-
SCP to the appliance is supported but you need to enable direct login to the Expert mode.
Note that SFTP that is commonly used by WinSCP is not supported.
