Upload a file (up to 24 KB) to an ECS instance

Prerequisites

• The ECS instance must be in the Running state.

• The file must not exceed 24 KB.

  Important

  To upload a file larger than 24 KB, use another method. For more information, see Upload or download files.

Procedure

1. Go to the Cloud Assistant console.

2. In the top navigation bar, select the region and resource group of the resource that you want to manage.

3. On the ECS Instance tab, select the target instance and click Send File in the Actions column.

   • If the Cloud Assistant status is Not Installed, follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

   • If the Cloud Assistant status is System Error or the agent version does not meet the requirements (earlier than 1.0.2.569 for Linux instances or earlier than 1.0.0.149 for Windows instances), restart the Cloud Assistant Agent or manually install the Cloud Assistant Agent.

     Note

     You can also click Send File in the upper-right corner of the Cloud Assistant page to upload the same file to multiple ECS instances.

4. In the Command Information section, configure the parameters and then click Run.

   Parameter	Description
   File	Select a file upload method and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upload.
