​Great script.

I noticed that the UCS file is generated correctly in

/var/local/ucs/$ARCHIVE_NAME_ON_SERVER'

however the transfer appears to be from

/mgmt/shared/file-transfer/ucs-downloads/$ARCHIVE_NAME_ON_SERVER"

 

How is it moved?

 

 

Also is

END_BYTE=$(($START_BYTE + $CONTENT_LENGTH))

supposed to be

END_BYTE=$((START_BYTE + CONTENT_LENGTH))
