Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 309

femDump
If you plan to use SCP to transfer files, it is important to test the command prior to its use
with various SCP-mode services. Because the femDump command makes several access
requests to copy files, it is important that the SCP-mode service be configured so that
passwords are not required for each attempted transfer. Failure to configure the service
correctly may result in significant delays in obtaining transferred output from the femDump
command.
When using SCP, femDump may create a directory if it does not already exist and the
parent directory has the appropriate permissions. Use of FTP requires the directory to exist
on the remote server.
Examples To collect limited debug information to a remote directory through SCP:
switch:admin> femdump -u admin -h 10.70.4.104 -d /temp/support -l scp
