On this page, www.ibm.com/support/pages/vmware-vsphere-esxi-41-u3-hypervisor-ibm-customization-v10-ibm-systems-and-lenovo-x86-servers, I am trying to download ibm_sw_hyper_800380v1_vmwaresx4_32-64.iso. The download is not working. I have used FTP from a command line (Windows 10) and I have used WinSCP. Nothing works. How do I download this file?

The attempt to download the file using WinSCP created a log file over 200K lines long. The relevant entries (I assume) are:

  • There is an icon (down arrow icon) to the left of the file. It is working fine in my Linux system here, but does not work in Windows

  • Windows (Chrome, Chromium Edge) wants to "pick an app" which is incorrect. As I noted I, can do it with Linux. Spin up a Kali machine in Hyper-V, download the file and then map a folder in Windows 10 and transfer it over.That may work.

  • I did this in Kali in VMware and just know was able to initiate a download in Kali in Hyper-V on another machine. This seems to be the best way forward.

  • @john I'll try it in Linux Mint first, since I can spin that up in 2 seconds.

  • @John Forgot to mention, I also got the weird "Pick an app" message. Your suggestion to try a Linux machine was good, but what I wound up doing was just switching to my Mac VM and trying it there. Similar to Windows, the Mac wanted to open Finder when I attempted the download. I said ok, Finder opened and the file downloaded! If you post your suggestion as an answer, I'll accept it. Thx.

Windows (Chrome, Chromium Edge) wants to "pick an app" which is incorrect.

I can download the file with Linux.

Spin up a Kali machine in Hyper-V, download the file and then map a folder in Windows 10 and transfer it over.I did this in Kali in Hyper-V on another machine and that works.

This seems to be the best way forward.

The ibm_sw_hyper_800380v1_vmwaresx4_32-64.iso is a link to 04pc2/3/ibm_sw_hyper_800380v1_vmwaresx4_32-64.iso. The current version of WinSCP does not follow links with FTP protocol. But you can just directly use a URL to the target file:

ftp://download2.boulder.ibm.com/ecc/sar/CMA/XSA/04pc2/3/ibm_sw_hyper_800380v1_vmwaresx4_32-64.iso

Paste the URL to your browser.

The next version of WinSCP will be able to handle the URL with link directly:
