          This is a Drop down menu, not a shell command.

              Enable SSH at your pfsense. Then use http://winscp.net/ to connect with user root and password <webguipassword>. It's an easy way to download/upload/modify files.</webguipassword>

                  Login as ROOT.  Set mode to SFTP (allow SCP fallback).

                  This has been axed like 100 times now.

                      Actually, I've been asking the same thing a couple of days ago.
                      'Of course' I searched the forum and the mail lists - but did'nt get an answer to my question "How does one connect  pscp to transfer files from and to it…."
                      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=1319.0.
                      Have to say that I have SSH access to the pfSEnse box. - This is just plain easy.
                      And in 'my days', using vi wasn't any problem - it was far more better then edlin on another platform….  ;)

                      The solution to my problem was: I was using the user named admin, that just doesn't work. One should use root. Like:

                      pscp -ls root@192.168.1.1:/usr
                      ```.
                      This will ask you for a password, and afterwards spit out the directory of **/usr**.
                      Better yet:
                      

                      pscp -pw mypassword root@192.168.1.1:/root/.login login

                      will copy the (hidden) .login file to your host, the file will be named login.
                      You could edit it, and copy it back.
                      
                      **pscp** is a Windows XP command line progam, part of the **Putty** telnet/SSH toolkit, you can download it for free.

                      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                      Edit : and where are the logs ??
