When you attempt to retrieve a file with WinSCP, you receive an error dialog and the session will be terminated: "SCP Protocol error: Invalid control record (r; elative addresses not allowed) Copying files from the remote side failed." If you attempt to transfer a file by the relative path with a command line utility the transfer will fail with the message: "relative addresses not allowed"
Cannot use WinSCP to retrieve files such as packet captures, log archives, or other diagnostic data from the BIG-IP system.
-- Running BIG-IP version with a fix for ID 915981 -- Using WinSCP set to use SCP protocol to retrieve files from a BIG-IP system. -- Using a relative remote path to transfer a file with the command line SCP utility.
Use a command line SCP tool that allows specifying an absolute path for the source and/or destination file (a path that starts with a forward slash /), when the source and/or destination locations are a BIG-IP device. You may use WinSCP in SFTP mode if the user ID is permitted to do so.
