Actually, the URL databases posted on the support site should be signed, in which case you will need to use the command:

scp import signed-url-database

You can download the URL database seed file from the support site. After that you can import the file using scp import command below

admin@FW-500> scp import url-database from
  <value>  Source (username@host:path)

To install you can use the command below

admin@FWNH1F72> request url-filtering install database major-version 3 minor-version 642 md5
  <value>  MD5 of BrightCloud database

Please use any md5 hasing utility which will provide the md5 hash value which you can use in the above command.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hello

I got the same error when I tried installing using the command: request url-filtering database major-version ...

It worked for me when I did: request url-filtering installed signed-database

Hope this helps. Best Regards,
