Guestshell Python - writing a file to flash

[ChrisNewnham_]

Is it possible to write an output file from Guestshell Python directly to flash? I've found I can copy files from the linux CLI (/home/guestshell -> /bootflash), but not write directly from Python itself.

file = open("/flash/guest-share/output.txt", "w")

File "script.py", line 4, in <module>
file = open("/flash/guest-share/output.txt", "w")
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/flash/guest-share/output.txt'

Even when running the script as sudo. 

Thanks!

From memory the Guest Shell has limited permissions, and writing directly to certain directories like /flash might allowed as you are seeing. Could you write the output file to a dir within the Guest Shell filesystem, and then use the guestshell run command to copy the file to flash?

Hope this helps.
