Good Morning, Over the weekend, Cisco implemented a new TAC software download feature -- adding multiple things to a cart/basket so that they can all be downloaded at once. This is an excellent idea. It's been needed for a long time. However, the additional piece that was implemented was Cisco's Download Manager. One of the first things it has you do, is select a location to place the downloaded software. I use a UNIX file system. I told it to put the file IPS-sig-S433-req-E3.pkg in my Downloads directory. When I went to upload it to the IPS, the file wasn't there. The Download Manager had created a file called "Downloads\IPS- sig-S433-req-E3.pkg" in my Home directory. Please note the "\" slash character in the filename; this is a windows slash and is "just another character" to UNIX. I have opened a TAC case under "Security", because I thought that would get the fastest attention. I think this will most likely work for Windows users ... Roseanne Roseannadanna is right again ...
