Hi Forum,
I found several posts regarding downloading patches via wget but none seems to help with my issue.
I used wget for quite some time now to download the patches like this
wget --no-check-certificate https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/OFFLINE/release-385-20130425-559583/ESXi410-201304001.zip
But since MyVmware from now on forces you to log in with user name and password this does not work anymore. I can get to the patch download center and copy the link (which nowadays contains a lot of dynamic parameters and wget just quits with the message
wget --no-check-certificate https://download2.vmware.com/patch/software/VUM/OFFLINE/release-396-20130726-531171/ESXi410-201307001.zip?HashKey= Connecting to download2.vmware.com|2.19.243.51|:443... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden 2013-08-15 19:59:17 ERROR 403: Forbidden.
Any idea how to get around this? Currently I can only download the patches on a machine with a GUI and a browser, upload the patch file manually via FTP to ESXi.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you in advance,
Henning
