Create iFile through iControl???
Hi there,
I'm trying to set-up an iControl client against a v11.1 F5.
The purpose of the client is to allow the import and creation of iFiles...
However I'm struggling to see the right method within the SDK...
My understanding is that I need to create an iFile File object using LocalLB::iFileFile->create before I can create the iFile iRule object using LocalLB::iFile->create.
However looking at the doc for LocalLB::iFileFile->create, it's asking for a 'paths' parameter, which is described as: The paths to the files to load into the system..
Am I right in reading that as I've got to manually create the file somewhere on the local F5 filesystem before I can create the iFileFile object?
If so, that sounds like a bit of a pain...
Comments welcome.
Cheers
Gavin
- JRahmAdminHi Gavin, I think that is the path to the file on your local system, not the BIG-IP, but I haven't used the iFile interface yet.

- GavinW_29074NimbostratusKinda looks like I've hit a brick wall on this one for the time being, as the files gotta be local to the F5 to import, and i'm struggling to find a working SCP/SFTP perl client that'll work on a Windows host :(
