Syntax
request system download start (sftp-url | delay | identity-file | login | max-rate | passphrase | save as )
Description
Use this command to create a download instance and identify it with a unique integer called the download ID.
Options
sftp-url—(Required)
The FTP or HTTP URL location of the file to be downloaded securely.
delay—(Optional) The number of hours after which the download should
start. Ranges from 1 through 48 hours.
identity-file—(Required) The name of the file requesting a Secure FTP (SFTP)
download. The SFTP in smart download leverages public key authentication
to authenticate a download request. You must generate a private or
public key pair before starting a download, and then upload a public
key to an SFTP server.
login—(Optional) The username and password for the server in the
format username:password.
max-rate—(Optional) The maximum average bandwidth for the download.
Numbers with the suffix k or K, m or M, and g or G are interpreted
as Kbps, Mbps, or Gbps, respectively.
passphrase—(Required) The passphrase to protect the private key file
stored on the file system. This option does not allow the user to
enter a weak passphrase, which ensures stronger security.
save-as—(Optional) The filename to be used for saving the file in
the /var/tmp location.
