Simple answer, No (at least not to my knowledge).
You can only upload files that are part of F5 configuration like iFiles or SSL certs/keys using the RestAPI, you cannot upload/download files to the underlying Linux system.

I came across this while reviewing F5 automated deployment, you can upload files but then only go to '/var/config/rest/downloads'.
Demystifying iControl REST Part 5: Transferring Files
Hope this helps
mitchNo they don't. It doesn't work. iControl REST, mystified!!!

Ok, for it working. It works. Be careful when setting the Content-Range header. Do not use, as some sites do, bytes 0-size -1/size. Restjavad harfs a fur ball on bytes 0, just stick with start end-1 start as in the Part 5 Transferring files.
