was anyone able to utilize the F5-FILE-DOWNLOAD API to download a file from a device running F5OS ? I am aware about the F5-UTILS-FILE-TRANSFER API which works as expected but my intention is to download something from the device locally, not to export a file to a remote server. I am adding below 2 examples.
$ curl -k -su user -X POST https://myhost.com:8888/restconf/data/f5-utils-file-transfer:file/f5-file-download:download-file/ -H 'Accept: application/yang-data+json' -H 'Content-Type: application/yang-data+json' -d '{ "f5-file-download:file-name": "myfile", "f5-file-download:file-path": "configs/" }' Enter host password for user 'user': { "ietf-restconf:errors": { "error": [ { "error-type": "application", "error-tag": "malformed-message", "error-path": "/f5-utils-file-transfer:file/f5-file-download:download-file", "error-message": "unknown element: file-name in /f5-utils-file-transfer:file/f5-file-download:download-file/f5-file-download:file-name" } ] } } ~$ curl -k -su user -X POST https://myhost.com:8888/restconf/data/f5-utils-file-transfer:file/f5-file-download:download-file/f5-... -H 'Accept: application/yang-data+json' -H 'Content-Type: application/yang-data+json' -d '{ "f5-file-download:file-name": "myfile", "f5-file-download:file-path": "configs/" }' Enter host password for user 'user': <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>500 Internal Server Error</title> </head><body> <h1>Internal Server Error</h1> <p>The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.</p> <p>Please contact the server administrator at root@localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.</p> <p>More information about this error may be available in the server error log.</p> </body></html>
Hey @Sakis_Dim - that sounds really frustrating, and I'm seeing if I can find you some help. It might take a little while, so in the mean time, hopefully someone from the community can drop an answer here. If it is urgent, please open a ticket with F5 Support.
I posted here while I was waiting reply from support to see if somone from the community faced similar issue. Yesterday I got a reply that this can be used for download other files, like logs but not config files. Honestly even that didn't work when I tested it but anyway I am looking for another alternative now.
