Access to cloud foundry filesystem (like FTP)?

I have some cloud foundry nodejs apps in IBM Cloud (Bluemix), and facing some issues with temp folders. It'd be easier if I can access directly to app folders (like my .tmp) to debug what's saving there. I can only think in SSH, but I prefer a visual tool or connected service. Any idea?

You can use graphical tools to browse the files by utilizing scp or sftp. I use FileZilla to browser the files. Instructions for accessing the files are similar to all Cloud Foundry providers, including IBM Cloud:

  1. I logged in to IBM Cloud using the CLI: ibmcloud login
  2. Next, set the org and space: ibmcloud target --cf
  3. Obtain the GUID for the app: ibmcloud cf app YOURAPP --guid
  4. Look for the ssh endpoint: ibmcloud cf curl /v2/info
  5. Issue a onetime password for ssh access: ibmcloud cf ssh-code

With that, use a username like cf:theGUIDfrom3/0 (0 could be another number depending on how many instances you have) and the onetime password to log in. The host is the one listed as app_ssh_endpoint at the shown port. You likely need to prefix it with the protocol, e.g., sftp://.
