F5 Auto backup script for SCP for V10 and 11.

Hello Guys,   I have tried looking for the subjected topic within DevCentral, but unfortunately that didn't help. (I must be doing something wrong for sure). By the way I couldn't find any script ...

The script just saves the files locally I'm afraid.

Storing a username and password in this file would not be a good idea. You'd want to set-up key-based authentication as explained here: https://blogs.oracle.com/jkini/entry/how_to_scp_scp_and.

Then it would be as simple as adding something like this before the end of the script;

scp "${UCS_FILENAME}.ucs" username@hostname:/dir/location/ 
scp "${UCS_FILENAME}.scf" username@hostname:/dir/location/
