Mount File to Linux Appliance | Nutanix Community

I need to mount a file to an existing linux VM appliance.  We don’t have any file shares that this VM has access to, so was wondering if/how this can be done through prism element if possible.

Most Linux distros, you can sftp into the server using a local user to push the file there, if there’s room.  Same app as Putty has a sftp program or you can use WSFTP or Filezilla.  Or you can use a CD burner app on Windows to create an ISO file, put in library, and attach to server.


You can also use wget on the Linux appliance and put the file on a webserver. More info on wget here: https://linuxize.com/post/wget-command-examples/

 

But sftp into the appliance is the easiest method.
