When attempting 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 remote side failed." If attempting to transfer a file by relative path with a command line utility the transfer will fail with the message: "relative addresses not allowed"
No longer able to 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 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 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. If the user ID is permitted to do so, you may use WinSCP in SFTP mode.
