SFTP failing with CHILDSTATUS 21707 1 and REMOTE COPY (SFTP) STARTING sftp: illegal option -- i
Closed this issue · 2 comments
When I try to back up my LTM's with SFTP I receive the illegal option error as well as the childstatus error. I have confirmed that I am able to SFTP from the F5 to SFTP server via cli so the private key and known_hosts should not be a problem. I also have tried with SCP and same errors.
Here is the output.

What version of F5 TMOS are you using? And what version of this iApp template? I haven't run into the "sftp: illegal option -- i" before.
