Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • UNIX
  • SMB

Answer

  • No, ONTAP does not have an SSH server for data file transfers. SSH only for administration purposes.
  • You must have a machine in front of ONTAP that has your NFS/CIFS shares mounted. Then you can use the SCP command to this machine.

Additional Information

Attempting to SCP directly to Netapp will result in connection refused.

 $ scp testfile.txt NASONTAP9:/data01_storage_smb
ssh: connect to host NASONTAP9 port 22: Connection refused
