Description
This article gives an example of how to configure auto-script using v5.4 firmware.

Solution
The first step is to install an FTP or TFTP and to validate that there neither a Windows firewall or anything else blocking the connection from the FortiGate to the FTP.

In this example the IP address of the FTP server is configured as 10.0.2.10 with user "admin" and password "admin":
config system auto-script
edit test
set interval 1
set repeat 0
set start auto
set script "execute backup config ftp FGT_AUTOCOFING.conf 10.0.2.10 admin admin"
end
where
  • Interval is the interval time in seconds between instances of the script running.
  • Repeat is the number of times to repeat the running of the script. The value 0 is used to set an infinite number of repetitions.
  • Start can be selected as manual to start the script manually or as auto to start the script automatically.
  • Script is the content of the script.

Communication with the FTP can be checked with a PC:

Logs will be seen on the FTP Server.

Notes
  • This feature may not be available with all models as a hard drive is necessary.
  • The output overwrites the last file saved so this will work with a single file at a time.
  • If different outputs are to be saved, the recommendation is to create different auto scripts with different intervals.
