Hi Hugo,

There are several if not many threads in this forum that discuss different ways of accomplishing your goal.

What version of SecureCRT are you using?

Have you already started writing your script?

What specifically do you want to do in your script?

If you are new to scripting, you may want to take a look at the scripting manual that illustrates how to use the SecureCRT API. It uses VBScript for the examples. You can download the manual from the following location:

If you are already comfortable with scripting, we do have more complex examples that you are welcome to customize to your needs.

Thanks for the soon response. I'm new to scripting, i want to learn to use scripts to automate tasks in my job.

Answering your questions:

What version of SecureCRT are you using?....6.5.3

Have you already started writing your script?.......no i haven't

What specifically do you want to do in your script?.......well, i have a Network Infraestructure with many Cisco Switches, but i don't have an automate application to back up the configuration. I want that each weekend (Sunday at 23 hrs.) the script backing up the Cisco switches config.
This is my first goal, later i need to upload the config to the switch which need it.

Hi Hugo,

Thanks for the information. Since you are new to scripting, and want to learn, you may want to take a look at the scripting manual that we published to the following location:

http://www.vandyke.com/support/tips/...ing/index.html

This manual discussed different essential topics like connecting to a machine, sending data to a machine, reading data from a machine, etc.

There are even example scripts that illustrate concepts that are presented.

Additionally, there is a thread at the following location that has a lengthy discussion about backing up configurations and has an example script along with questions and answers about how to accomplish specific tasks/goals:

Here is another thread that illustrates how save config files, and has an example script:

Does this help you get started writing your own script?
