aruba_os error "Unsupported SCP device_type"

[pixeldoc2000]

I'm trying to do scp on ´"device_type": "aruba_os"` but getting the following error:

  File "/mnt/d/xxx/python/netmiko/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/netmiko/scp_functions.py", line 123, in file_transfer
    with TransferClass(**scp_args) as scp_transfer:

It looks like aruba_os has a mapping to ArubaOsFileTransfer: https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko/blob/develop/netmiko/ssh_dispatcher.py#L347 so i guess it should work?

Code

from netmiko import ConnectHandler, file_transfer
import getpass

passwd = getpass.getpass('Enter your password: ')

my_device = {
    "device_type": "aruba_os",
    "host": "aruba_os_controller",
    "username": "admin",
    "password": passwd,
}

source_file = "configbackup.tar.gz"
destination_file = "configbackup.tar.gz"
direction = "get"
file_system = 'flash:'

connection = ConnectHandler(**my_device) # unpacking the dictionary
transfer_dict = file_transfer(
        connection,
        source_file=source_file,
        dest_file=destination_file,
        file_system=file_system,
        direction=direction,
        overwrite_file=True,
    )

connection.disconnect()
print(transfer_dict)

I've tested various other examples, but always get the same error.

I'm not shure if it is just me or a bug?

Environment

• Python 3.13.5
• netmiko 4.6.0

What are these 2 lines?

File "/mnt/d/xxx/python/netmiko/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/netmiko/ssh_dispatcher.py", line 587, in FileTransfer

)

Also it would be helpful if you added a print statement here:

def FileTransfer(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> "BaseFileTransfer":
    """Factory function selects the proper SCP class and creates object based on device_type."""
    if len(args) >= 1:
        device_type = args[0].device_type
    else:
        device_type = kwargs["ssh_conn"].device_type
    print(device_type)       #### ADD THIS LINE
    if device_type not in scp_platforms:

This is in ssh_dispatcher.py
