[HamWAN PSDR] RouterOS question

[Stephen Kangas]

Bart’s suggestion is a better way as it is much more secure.  Allowing FTP to be run at any time in RouterOS is asking for trouble, as it can be potentially be used for a bad actor to infect your device.  SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) is not only encrypted  but using Secure Shell (SSH) to access it helps prevent problems.

Alternatively, you can push from Windows, by having an SSH key installed and using SCP:

Sounds like you just need /tool fetch.

The blacklist script is a thorough example: https://github.com/kd7lxl/blacklist-service/blob/master/block-address.rsc

I am trying to achieve something using RouterOS scripting, and I'm hoping that here I might find the appropriate expertise.

 

>From a script running in a Mikrotik router I wish to pull in a copy of a file from an attached Windows computer. The computer is on the same subnet as the router.

 

By way of illustration: 

 

     A file called test.xxx exists on a Windows computer in the folder c:\aaa\

 

     I want a copy of this file to appear in the attached router /file list. This copy "event" could be either a push from the computer, or a pull from the router.

 

When using Winbox, this function is achieved easily using "drag and drop", but I need to automate the function.

 

Thanks.
