Re: Backup and or Configuration Files

Thanks for the reply George this is exactly what i was looking for.
One quick question regarding this plugin # 11411.

When i'm on the local nessus host (nessus 3.2.1 / redhat es4) and i
issues the following command:

sudo /opt/nessus/bin/nessuscmd -p default -sT -sP -i 11411 -V -U -v tagethost

i receive no output.  i have placed a file named "index.jsp~" on my
webserver in / and can use both the browser and wget to retrieve and
view the contents.  why won't this plugin find the file?

i also took it a step further and issued the following cmd:

sudo /opt/nessus/bin/nessuscmd -p default -sT -sP -i 10662 -i 11411 -V
-U -v targethost

the webmirror.nasl plugin found and reported on discovered cgi, but
still the backfile.nasl (11411) found nothing.

any help is appreciated.

thanks
ashby
