Unable to download files from custom repo

Support
1

I have a custom repo that I want to use for downloading specific files from. I do not need the repo to be part of the Content View or Life Cycles. But I do need all hosts in my environment to be able to download files via WGET from this repo.

Right now this is what is happening:

[root@LouisTest-HOST01 ~]# wget https://gp2us1opsfm01-main02a.example.net/pulp/content/TDS-TM/Library/custom/TDS/TDS_-_Ops_-_Custom_-_noarch/tm-jdk-1.8.0.221-1.x86_64

Any idea why this is not working???

It sounds like a File repository may be what you need?

Yes that is exactly what I want. Guess it got changed from my old version of Foreman.

You can also use the “republish repository metadata” option in the future if content that should exist is throwing a 404. Content view versions have this option too.

I followed this and it worked just as I wanted.
