Create a IFile {system level} via API - Powershell

Found my fault... JRahm & Patrik_Jonsson this was after my long reply to your other post JRahm (and yes it works on a POST method)... I had the file name in the URL overload specified on the initial create request, it should not be in there...

so this..

$File_Name = 'MyFile'
$url       = "{0}{1}{2}" -f $big_ip, "/mgmt/tm/sys/file/ifile/",$File_Name

$headers = @{
    'Content-Type'    = 'application/json'
    'X-F5-Auth-Token' = $token
}

$body = @{
    'name'            = $File_Name
    'source-path'     = "file:/var/config/rest/downloads/$File_Name"
} | ConvertTo-Json -Compress

$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Method post -Uri $url -Headers $headers -Body $body 

needs to be:

$File_Name = 'MyFile'
$url       = "{0}{1}" -f $big_ip, "/mgmt/tm/sys/file/ifile/"

$headers = @{
    'Content-Type'    = 'application/json'
    'X-F5-Auth-Token' = $token
}

$body = @{
    'name'            = $File_Name
    'source-path'     = "file:/var/config/rest/downloads/$File_Name"
} | ConvertTo-Json -Compress

$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Method post -Uri $url -Headers $headers -Body $body

 without the file name in the initial overload.

Hope this helps some future person 🙂 
Off to the next challange.

Bonus: Retyped to splat (overload definition) - because why not.

# Create a IFile {system level} 
$File_Name = 'MyFile'
$Uri       = "{0}{1}" -f $big_ip, "/mgmt/tm/sys/file/ifile/"

# Construct overload definition
$Param_InvokeRestMethod = @{
    headers = @{
        'Content-Type'    = 'application/json'
        'X-F5-Auth-Token' = $token
    }

    body = @{
        'name'            = $File_Name
        'source-path'     = "file:/var/config/rest/downloads/$File_Name"
    } | ConvertTo-Json -Compress

    Method = 'post'

    Uri = $Uri
}

# Post & capture result
$result = Invoke-RestMethod @Param_InvokeRestMethod
