Transferring files to the Cyber Recovery vault jump host

Use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to copy files on to the Cyber Recovery vault jump host. You use this procedure to transfer a browser executable file and other files to the jump host.

Prerequisites

  • The Cyber Recovery solution is successfully installed on Google Cloud Platform.
  • A stand-alone or offline browser installer executable, or other files are downloaded to your local workstation.
    NOTE:If you are installing a browser, do not download the default installer. During installation, most web browsers access the latest packages over the Internet. You cannot perform this action from the jump host.

About this task

The jump host, which the Terraform template deploys on Google Cloud Platform as part of the Cyber Recovery deployment, comes with the Internet Explorer browser installed. The Cyber Recovery solution does not support the Internet Explorer browser. Optionally, you can manually install a different browser, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox, for the Cyber Recovery deployment on Google Cloud Platform.

The jump host that is used in a Google Cloud Platform deployment is a CIS-hardened Windows host. By default, this hardened host does not allow file transfers using RDP; it only allows text transfers. In the following procedure, steps 1 through 5 remove this restriction by editing the registry on the jump host. After a reboot, you can copy files using RDP.

Steps

  1. Use RDP to log in to the jump host on Google Cloud Platform.
  2. Open the command-line window.
  3. Copy the cis-regedit.exe executable file from the Cyber Recovery VM that enables file transfers:
    1. Use SCP to copy the cis-regedit registry edit program to a local directory, for example: 
      scp -i <path-to-pem-file> cruser@<cr_host_ip>:/home/cruser/gcp_cr/cis-regedit.exe  C:/Users/cradmin/Desktop
    2. Provide the Cyber Recovery VM password.
    3. Close the command-line window and verify that the file has been copied to the desktop.
  4. Open a PowerShell session with admin privileges.
  5. Enable file transfers over RDP:
    1. Change directory to Desktop, for example: 
       cd C:/Users/cradmin/Desktop
    2. Run the .\cis-regedit.exe enableFileTransfer command.
    3. Press Enter to confirm the command and acknowledge the reboot.
      The jump host reboots automatically.
  6. After the reboot, use RDP to log in to the jump host.
    You can now use RDP to copy and paste files to the jump host.
  7. Copy and paste the files to the jump host.
    1. If you are installing a browser, install the browser executable and then verify that the browser is operational. Otherwise, go to the next substep.
    2. After you complete the file transfers, secure the jump host by disabling file transfers over RDP, as described in the following steps.
  8. Open a PowerShell session with admin privileges.
  9. From the PowerShell session, disable file transfers over RDP:
    1. Change directory to Desktop: 
       cd C:/Users/cradmin/Desktop
    2. Run .\cis-regedit.exe disableFileTransfer.
    3. Press Enter to confirm the command and acknowledge the reboot.
      The jump host reboots automatically.
  10. After the reboot, use RDP to log in to the jump host.
  11. Delete the cis-regedit registry edit program.
  12. Empty the Recycle Bin.
