discovery.fileGet(target, filename [,win64_redirect=true|false])
Retrieves the specified file. target
is a node used to identify the discovery target, either a directly discovered data node, or a Host node. Requires PRIV_CAT
to be defined to retrieve files not readable by the current user.
64 bit Windows hosts have the following system directories for holding executables, DLLs, and so forth:
%windir%\system32
– 64 bit executables and DLLs%windir%\SysWOW64
– 32 bit executables and DLLswin64_redirect
is an optional flag which enables you to specify whether the search for the file should take place in the 32 bit directory if not found in the 64 bit directory. TRUE means search the 32 bit directory, FALSE means do not search the 32 bit directory if the file is not found in the 64 bit directory. The default is TRUE.
Filenames that do not start with %windir%\system32
or %systemroot%\system32
are never checked for redirection.
On non-Windows and 32 bit Windows systems win64_redirect
has no effect.
The win64_redirect
flag is new in 8.2.
Returns a DiscoveredFile node.
The target node may be one of the following:
Host
DiscoveryAccess
DiscoveredDirectoryEntry
DiscoveredFQDN
DiscoveredHBA

DiscoveredNetworkConnection

These discovery functions should also describe what attributes the returned nodes will have and what will happen in error cases.
