Maybe I have not been clear enough : the credential are fine, I mean the filename :

You have a 403 for "/var/local/ucs/test_ucs.ucs", have you tried "/var/local/ucs/test_ucs_XXX.ucs" ?

Thanks Sam. I have tried that. I've tried:

/var/local/ucs/test_ucs.ucs

/var/local/ucs/test_ucs123.ucs

/var/local/ucs/test_ucs123

test_ucs

test_ucs123

 

all produce the same error message.  I'm currently attempting to combine some methodology from the POSH-LTM-Rest module found here and the code i've been working on already. The documentation doesn't call it out anywhere but I wonder if you have to retrieve an F5 session token before you can do anything using the POST method.
