First - there is an error in that article. The ".local" should just be "local" in that path. I'll correctly that momentarily.

You can use the copy/paste method above by SSH'ng to the XMC/XIQ-SE appliance end issuing the command... OR yes you can save the contents of the script using notepad to a file and then use WinSCP / SCP to upload the file to the sub-directory noted.

Thank you. We have now managed to log into our XIQ-SE using WinSCP and navigated into the correct folder. However, when we have copied the new script file into the folder, we the dont see it in the Invertory Setting -> Device Family Definition Finename. What is the reason for this ?

The new script should show immediately in the list you highlighted as long as the 'name' i.e. name="Dell Force 10 - TFTP" in the script is unique.

If you continue to experience issues with this procedure please consider opening a GTAC support case for additional assistance. Thank you.
