Tool for easily uploading files to an IBM DataPower® Gateway file system.

Since this script is designed to upload files via the XML management interface the xml-mgmt object must be enabled and up in the default domain of the gateway you wish to target. You can validate this easily by logging into the CLI of the gateway and checking as follows:

idg# show xml-mgmt

xml-mgmt [up]
--------
 admin-state enabled
 ip-address 0.0.0.0
 port 5550
 acl xml-mgmt  [up]
 slm-peering 10 Seconds
 mode any+soma+v2004+amp+slm+wsrr-subscription
 ssl-config-type server

1. Clone or download the repository from the Releases page

   $ git clone [email protected]:IBM/dp-file-uploader.git
   $ cd dp-file-uploader/

2. Install package via pip3

   $ pip3 install .

   Note: Installing via pip3 adds the dp-file-uploader executable to your PATH.

3. Validate the installation

   $ dp-file-uploader --version

This script can be used to upload a single file, or multiple files, to a target IBM DataPower® Gateway filesystem. You control the behavior of the script through command-line arguments. The minimum usage would be as follows:

$ dp-file-uploader my.datapower.com "local:///sandbox/" file.txt

This would upload the file.txt file to the IBM DataPower® Gateway at hostname (my.datapower.com) and store the file within the local:///sandbox/ directory.

Since no other arguments were provided, some defaults were used:

• user defaults to admin
• password defaults to admin
• port defaults to 5550

You can specify each of these via command-line argument. For example:

$ dp-file-uploader \
    --user "myaccount" \
    --password "mypassword" \
    --port 9550 \
    my.datapower.com "local:///sandbox/" file.txt

You can also upload multiple files at once, using either wildcards or specifying multiple names manually.

# using wildcards
$ dp-file-uploader my.datapower.com "local:///sandbox/" file*.txt

# specifying each manually
$ dp-file-uploader my.datapower.com "local:///sandbox/" file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

You can enable verbose output via the -V, --verbose command line argument to get a little more detail from the script as it runs. If this does not help to solve your problem, please feel free to open an issue.
