You can upload a new HTML file to the BIG-IP and update the "system" iFile to point to it without changing the "LTM" iFile name

  1. SCP updated HTML file to /shared/tmp/prod_new.html
  2. Update system iFile to point to new HTML file
    modify sys file ifile <IFILE NAME> source-path "file:/shared/tmp/prod_new.html"

Hi ​ Michael_Saleem​ 

Thanks for the details. That really helped.

 

How can I back up the current iFile before replacement? The iFile shows path as /var/config/rest/downloads/prod.html, but this file doesn't exist in the /var/config/rest/downloads/ directory. Please let me know how can i locate this ifile which currently being used.

    The current iFile should should be located in the filestore:

    /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/ifile_d/
