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.
