Hi,

Not sure about this, but it seems to me you are using ansible_connection: netconf, whereas module doc is stating:

  • Works with local connections only.
  • Since this module uses junos-eznc to establish connection with junos device the netconf configuration parameters needs to be passed using module options for example ssh_config unlike other junos modules that uses netconf connection type.

Hi All,

Still I am unable to copy a file from my ansible server to juniper switch. Please help me to resolve the issue.

I am trying with 2 methods to copy from ansible server to juniper switch.

Method 1. Below command is working fine if I run this in juniper switch but I am unable to push this command from ansible server to juniper switch.

file copy ftp://user1:userpass@ftp-server-ip/abc4 /var/tmp/abc4

Method2. I am trying to use ansible module “junipernetworks.junos.junos_scp” to copy file from ansible to switch but this is giving me error “You must provide either ‘host’ or ‘sock_fd’ value”.

Playbook:

  • hosts: juniperswitch
    gather_facts: no
    connection: local

    tasks:

    • name: run show version on remote devices
      junipernetworks.junos.junos_scp:
      src: /tmp/abc9.txt
      dest: /var/tmp/
      remote_src: true

find below error.

The full traceback is:
File “/root/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/junipernetworks/junos/plugins/modules/junos_scp.py”, line 224, in main
device = get_device(module)
File “/root/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/junipernetworks/junos/plugins/module_utils/network/junos/junos.py”, line 155, in get_device

Hey there, @G24joshi

This module is deprecated, just check-out the docs:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/junipernetworks/junos/junos_scp_module.html#deprecated

They suggest using these modules instead:

ansible.netcommon.net_get
ansible.netcommon.net_put
