Hi all,

Has anyone managed to get the **f5\_file** provider working using this module? I’ve written my own providers for iFile and iFileFile in order to create iFiles and objects but I’m not having any success using this build-in provider to actually upload a file beforehand.

Thanks in advance.

OK, I hacked things quite a bit and have this working now. However, only by putting the file contents in the manifest. Looking to find a better way but good enough for my immediate needs.
