Hello Puri,

You can achieve this using the following command :

To create the ifile use:

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/tm/sys/file/ifile -d '{"name":"ifile_name","source-path":"file:/path/of/file"}'

To update the ifile use:

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/tm/sys/file/ifile/ifile_name -d '{"source-path":"file:/path/of/newFile"}'

Please let me know if it works for you.

I've already tested in my lab.

Waiting for your update.

Regards
