Code :

def _upload(host, creds, fp):

    chunk_size = 512 * 1024
    headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'
    }
    fileobj = open(fp, 'rb')
    filename = os.path.basename(fp)
    if os.path.splitext(filename)[-1] == '.iso':
        uri = 'https://%s/mgmt/cm/autodeploy/software-image-uploads/%s' % (host, filename)
    else:
        uri = 'https://%s/mgmt/shared/file-transfer/uploads/%s' % (host, filename)

    requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()
    size = os.path.getsize(fp)

    start = 0

    while True:
        file_slice = fileobj.read(chunk_size)
        if not file_slice:
            break

        current_bytes = len(file_slice)
        if current_bytes < chunk_size:
            end = size
        else:
            end = start + current_bytes

        content_range = "%s-%s/%s" % (start, end - 1, size)
        headers['Content-Range'] = content_range
        requests.post(uri,
                      auth=creds,
                      data=file_slice,
                      headers=headers,
                      verify=False)

        start += current_bytes

    import os, requests, argparse, getpass

    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Upload File to BIG-IP')

    parser.add_argument("host", help='BIG-IP IP or Hostname', )

Tried this on 11.5, no luck. Does it require 12.0?

I tested on 12.0, It's possible 11.6 might work, but I don't think the building blocks were in place.

silly question i know but what is the location of these files on the device? cant find them after uploading.

@Maverick, /shared/images for images, /var/config/rest/downloads for others. The writeup for this has details: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/demystifying-icontrol-rest-part-5-transferring-files

Thanks Jason, that is very useful. But it looks it didnt upload my files although python doesn't throw any errors. And I tried it on both version 11.5 and 11.6, do not have a version 12.0 device.

i thought this was supported before 12.0 but perhaps not. I'll download an 11.6 image next week and re-test. (hotel wifi today/tomorrow, doesn't sound promising)

Thanks Jason, please ignore my previous comment. It works with version 11.5.1, just needed to adjust permissions on the destination folder.

Just got confirmation, this functionality was added for 12.0, so it will not work in previous versions.

Along the lines of what Maverick said, I was also able to get this to work in 11.5.2, although instead of modifying permissions I had to create the directory: "/var/config/rest/downloads/tmp" with no special permissions. I was getting the following error back that lead me to investigate the creation of that directory. code: 400, reason: /var/config/rest/downloads/tmp/rest_upload_test.txt (No such file or directory) It seems like if a hot fix would simply create that directory this would work out of the box in the 11.5 or at least the >= 11.5.2 line.

ok, so change that "will not work" to "is not supported" before 12.0 🙂 Nice work guys.

I don't suppose anyone has a powershell example of this? I am trying to create something to upload and also overwrite ifiles programatically.

powershell is not my strong suit but I can probably hack one together for you. I'll be at F5 Agility this week though, so probably can't get to it until next Monday.

Does anybody can provide curl command? I'm trying this: curl -sk -u admin:'*****' -H "Content-Type: application/octet‐stream" -d @my_file.xml -X POST

 

In response I'm receiving: {"code":400,"message":"Content-Range",...

 

But file size is just 74kB

Just found answer to my question. I'm using 11.6 and it's working fine:

 

curl -i -sk -u admin:'*****' -X POST -H "Expect:" -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" -H "Content-Range: 0-(SIZE-1)/SIZE" --data-binary "@my_file.xml"

 

File is located in: /ts/var/rest

 

Next step rewrite it to use LWP 🙂
