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)

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

Hello there @G24joshi ,

I was reviewing some older unresolved posts on the network-automation tag and came across this one from a few weeks ago. Are you still in need of help with this one? I’m not sure if you did see the latest answers…

Also, it would be awesome if you applied the proper formatting to the code snippets you attach on your posts, this will improve readability a lot :smiling_face: Thanks a lot in advance! You can do this just by selecting the related text and clicking onto the “preformatted text” </> icon on the editor, by the way (you will find it inside the gear icon if you’re using your smartphone).

Best regards
