CLI Commands

SecureSync features a suite of command-line interface (CLI) commands that can be used to configure parameters and retrieve status information or log files via a remote connection, using the telnet or ssh (if enabled) protocol.

This section includes a list of some of the supported commands.

Notes:

  1. The command “helpcli” will provide a list of all available commands and their syntax (Note: Typing “help” will output bash shell help only and will not provide useful information).
  2. You can scroll up or scroll down through the output by using the Page Up/Page down keys, or the arrow keys.
  3. Type “q” (lower-case) to quit.
  4. Pressing the up/down keys scrolls through previously typed commands.
  5. Commands need to be typed in all lower-case letters.
  6. Where eth0 is the base network port and eth1 (and higher) are used with the optional Gigabit Ethernet module for multiple network interfaces.
  7. User accounts with “user” group permissions can perform “get” commands but cannot perform any “set” commands or change/reset passwords. Only user accounts with “admin” group permissions can perform “set” commands or change/reset password. Refer to Adding/Deleting/Changing User Accounts for user account setup information.
