In some situations you may need to upload a file to rack device. Most of the rack devices do not have internet access, but with Guacamole HTML5 gateway you can upload files using a Guacamole file transfer utility.
NOTE: This procedure is only for devices that support SSH. It will NOT work with telnet or console access.
Follow these steps:
1. Connect to the device you'd like to transfer a file to from the CloudShell Active topology page.
2. Once you gain access to the device, you can press control+alt+shift key to slide out the guacamole settings window on the left side of the screen.
3. Then select Upload Files button and select your file
4. Once you select the file, this should upload the file into the device or VM in the user's home directory. Please be sure to stay connected to the device via SSH during the file transfer process. If you are disconnected, your file transfer will end or be corrupted.
5. Once the upload is complete, you can press control+alt+shift again to slide the guacamole settings page back in.
6. Now, you can check your device home directory to confirm its uploaded. For example: running 'ls ~' command will show your home directory's files. On a junos device, you can make use 'file list /var/home/lab' to see the file contents of lab user's home directory if you logged in as lab user.
