21 +In most cases, support representatives will require files from your server in order to troubleshoot issues. You can utilize SCP to download the files onto your personal machine. Once the files are on your personal machine, you can attach them in a new ticket or in a reply to an existing ticket.
22 +
23 +{{info}}
24 +Using SCP requires that you know the SSH login credentials for the server.
25 +{{/info}}
26 +
27 +== Windows ==
28 +
29 +To download files, via SCP, to a Windows machine, you can utilize the free application WinSCP ([[http:~~/~~/winscp.net/>>url:http://winscp.net/||shape="rect"]])
30 +
31 +== Linux/OS X ==
32 +
33 +To download files, via SCP, to a Linux or OS X machine, you can utilize the "scp" command.
34 +
35 +{{code}}
36 +scp <ssh username>@<ip of server>:<path of file to download> <local file destination path>
37 +{{/code}}
38 +
39 +For Example, the following command will download the file /root/islogs.tar.gz from the server at 192.168.1.1, to the /home/mike/Downloads directory on your local machine.
40 +
41 +{{code}}
42 +scp root@192.168.1.1:/root/islogs.tar.gz /home/mike/Downloads
43 +{{/code}}
44 +
45 +Once executed, the command will prompt you for the root user password.
46 +
47 += Support Packages =
48 +
49 +iSymphony now allows administrators to create support packages which contain useful information about the system. These packages are used by our support team to expedite the troubleshooting process. Creating s support package is easy, and can be done from the Administration Interface or the server command line.
50 +
51 +{{note}}
52 +The ability to create support packages is only available in iSymphony 3.3+. If you are using a version of iSymphony prior to 3.3, see the [[Manual Collection>>doc:||anchor="manual_collection"]] section below.
53 +{{/note}}
54 +
55 +== Creating Support Packages from the Administration Interface ==
56 +
57 +iSymphony provides an easy to use interface that allows administrators to create, and download, support packages directly from the Administration interface.
58 +
59 +{{note}}
60 +If you cannot access the Administration interface, due to issues with the application, see Creating Support Packages from the Command Line below
61 +{{/note}}
62 +
63 +1. Log into the Administration Interface. See [[doc:Connecting to the Administration Interface]].
64 +1. (((
65 +Select **Global Configuration** at the top right hand corner of the Administration Interface.

67 +{{info}}
68 +Only super Administrators have access to the Global Configuration section. See [[doc:Administrators]] for more information.
69 +{{/info}}
70 +)))
71 +1. Under **Create Support Package**, select the information you wish to be included in in the package. The default selection is usually sufficient.
72 +1. Click **Create**.
73 +1. Once the package has been created you can use the **Download** button to download the package to your system and attach it to a support ticket.
74 +
75 +== Creating Support Packages from the Command Line ==
76 +
77 +If you are unable to access the Administration Interface, you can create support packages from the server command line by executing the **support.sh** script. You can specify several parameters to tell the script which pieces of information to include in the package.
78 +
79 +1. Log into the server via SSH or a terminal.
80 +1. (((
81 +Run the following command:
82 +
83 +{{code language="bash"}}

88 +The above command will package all information. If you wish to specify the information that is included in the package you can use the flags specified in the Package Options section below.
89 +{{/info}}
90 +)))
91 +1. (((
92 +Once the script has generated the package it can be found in the following directory on the server:
