Copy Files from F5 to F5 (linux) using SCP

When we get new codes / hot fixes that we must deploy to all of our F5 Appliances it can take awhile to upload 1Gig or more from your VPN connection.  So just do it ahead of time to one box and once your md5 check the images then you can SCP to your other boxes using the linux SCP command

scp -p <local_filename> <username>@<server>:<remote_filename>

For example I wanted to move all the 11.5.4 files from on box to the next box so I ran

[root@usfnt1slbdv01:Active:In Sync] ~ # scp -p /shared/images/*BIGIP-11.5.4.* aa_lztx5g@10.10.48.13:/shared/images/

BIGIP-11.5.4.0.0.256.iso                                         100% 1634MB  19.0MB/s   01:26
BIGIP-11.5.4.0.0.256.iso.md5                                     100%   58     0.1KB/s   00:00

Of course whenever you copy files (especially really important files like operating systems and hot fixes) you should run your md5 check.  So something like the following for an example

md5sum --check BIGIP-11.5.3.0.0.163.iso.md5
