CSF Firewall Backup / Restore / Export CSF Configuration
Whenever you want to deploy a new Linux VPS / Dedicated server, you generally have to set and configure CSF / LFD all over again which is a tedious process.
Thanks to this tutorial, you'll be able to export and import your firewall configuration for further usage.
Here are the 2 very simple steps to perform your backup and restoration :
1) You need to connect through SSH to your Linux VPS / Dedicated Server with a File SSH client such as FileZilla, WinSCP, or your favorite SSH client.
Then you need to download the following files in /etc/csf :
You can also put them into an archive through a SSH client as Putty with the following command line ::-csf.conf -csf.allow -csf.deny -csf.ignore -csf.fignore -csf.mignore -csf.rignore -csf.signore -csf.suignore
tar cvfz csfbackup.tgz csf.conf csf.allow csf.deny csf.*ignore
2) To restore your configuration
you would just need to upload and overwrite toi your newer server the downloaded files
into /etc/csf.
That's it! You can share your typical CSF / LFD configuration accross different servers.
