Powershell backup Fortinet configuration through SSH with Powershell

Hi mate, I had the need to backup some firewall configuration. I know that there are several ways to do it last but not least FortiManager but.......... Had to do it periodically and for several devices. I used one the several external module that you can find on the web

(http://www.powershellmagazine.com/2014/07/03/posh-ssh-open-source-ssh-powershell-module/)


I had to adjust some security parameters on the firewall side, please do the same to be sure that this task can be ran in a secure context. No complications, no tricks, only the essential. Hope this helps. See you soon.

UPDATE
Mates,
below a different version of the same script but using a "FTP approach".
Hope you appreciate.
Bye
