The documentation for both the "TFTP Server Settings" and "SCP Server Settings" web pages (found by going to Settings > NCM Settings in your Orion Web Console, provided you own NCM of course) is quite sparse. It isn't clear what we are configuring exactly.
When I go to the SCP Server Settings page (seen in the screenshot below) it lists all of my polling engines and has a Username and Password field for each one, along with a place to put a SCP Server IP and the Config Transfer Directory. I don't understand why there are separate entries for each polling engine. What do the polling engines have to do with setting up the SCP Server Settings? Is it intended that we setup a SCP server on each polling engine? If so, why? That sounds like a pain in the **** as well as completely unnecessary.
What we've done is setup a SCP server on our NTA Database server. So our SCP server doesn't live on any of our polling engines.
Since we are just using one SCP server, how should I setup the screen below? Do I just put in the same Username/Password combo along with the same SCP Server address and Directory under each polling engine's section on here? If so, that is what I tried, however I don't know what to put in the config transfer directory box. If I put anything other than "/" in it, it won't validate, even though I can successfully transfer stuff to/from the directory via SCP and I've validated that the Windows permissions to that folder allow Everyone to access it (for now while I'm testing it. I'll tighten that up once I get it working). The Root directory on our SCP server is "E:\SFTP_Root". If I put that in on the TFTP Server Settings page, that works, but if I put it in here, it doesn't. Only "/" works. I'm so confused why this doesn't work and it just isn't clear what I'm supposed to do...
