Get a file from AIX Unix server

Is there a way you can use a fixlet to get a file off of a group of AIX server? We have a script that gathers server information and saves it to a file to be used in a Disaster recovery test. I would like to use BigFix to off load the file from all the servers to one place.

Sounds like a job for the Upload and Archive manager. Haven’t used it much myself, but at least those are terms you can search here and in the document center.

Look at the ‘Troubleshooting: Run BES Client Diagnostics’ tasks in the BES Support site for examples of how to upload a file.

As per @JasonWalker, the archive now feature in ActionScript works best to leverage your BES infrastructure to upload files from your endpoints to your root BES server.

Alternatively, you can create custom content to SCP the required files from your NIX endpoints to a designated server running SSHD services.
