You can either use SSH to get the file, or use the iControl System.ConfigSync.download_configuration(). I wrote a perl example that illustrated how to use the file chunked APIs in the System.ConfigSync interface in the Perl Config Sync CodeShare sample.

You will likely need the iControlTypeCast.pm package as well for the script to work.

If you look in the iControl CodeShare I also wrote a PowerShell version of this sample.

I ran your curl command to create the .ucs and then this for the Perl code and the file was downloaded locally.

$ perl ConfigSync.pl bigip.joesmacbook.com 443 admin admin download joe.ucs

Hope this helps...
