A few months ago I heard that it was possible to download files from Passport advantage using wget on a linux terminal.
Never needed to test this until yesterday when I needed to upload 3 GB of files to a server (home office to datacenter) that had no possibility of using a browser to download from Passport Advantage.
What I did was the following:
1 – Log on passport advantage (using my laptop) and looked for the desired software
2 – I changed the download option for https
3 – When I started downloading the file I copied the URL
4 – The URL is complex like this one: (i changed some characteres)
https://serverfromibm/sdfdl/v2/fulfill/CITI7BP/Xa.2/Xb.ll8xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Xc.CITI7BP/Do_9.0.1_LP_AIX_Lix_BP.tar/Xd./Xf.lPr.D1VK/Xg.7745353/Xi./XY.sm/XZ.HqgSzFYH2FWAhesMjfomXW-uLQk/Do_9.0.1_LP_AIX_Lix_BP.tar#anchor
I type wget on linux terminal and pasted the url
The download was done smoothly.
