      I am very very raw in this field. Is there any way that I can extract the files from Embedded pfsense Image? I have made some changes as per my environment. Now I need to upgrade and document. I need to extract the files from the original IMAGE file…..

      How should I proceed?

      Thanks in Advance.

        The easiest way is to enable ssh (system>advanced) and using something like http://winscp.net to logon with sftp (user root, password <webguipassword>) to fetch grab the data. If you only need single files you could download them at diagnostics>command (download button).</webguipassword>

          Thanks Hoba… I will try and let you know, if I have some difficulties. I remember once, I tried using WINSCP, but it was giving error, if I am not wrong... I will try and let you know the outcome. Thanks a lot for your immediate response.
