JohnMaki — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 18:46:17 GMT

So i have follwoed all the guides and posts i can find about changing the permissions and what not but i keep getting this error when i setup the scheduled log exports on one of my firewalls.

Error response from server: bash: /PALogs/ssh-export-test.txt: Permission denied

Ideas?

try adjusting the permissions on the '/PALogs' on your Expedition server.

$sudo chmod -R /PALogs

Try the scheduled log export test again.

This did not resolve the issue. Same error message.

I found this one and it works now

sudo chmod -R a+rwx /PALogs

I've similar issue encountered. However error messages were different.

May I check whether above permission define on Paloalto or remote destination (NAS) ?

@Nainghsy the account you used needs to have write permission the /PALogs folder on the Expedition VM , if not, you can change the /PALogs folder permission to allow any to write.

@lychiang I don't quiet understand here. Actually I'm trying to export out the logs to remote destination (NAS). In order to do that the user account that I used must have write privilege for source folder so called Expedition VM instead of destination folder? Correct me If i'm wrong. Many thanks!

@Nainghsy What's your use case, are you trying to export the firewall traffic log from firewall or you trying to export the traffic log from expedition to your server?

@lychiang I'm trying to export the firewall traffic log from firewall to another destination of shared drive (NAS).
