Applies to RouterOS: v3, v4 +
Summary
Sub-menu: /tool fetch
Standards:
Fetch is one of the console tools in Mikrotik RouterOS. It is used to copy files from any network device to a
Mikrotik router via HTTP or FTP.
In latest v5 versions it is possible also to upload files to remote locations.
Fetch now supports HTTPS protocol. By default no certificate checks are made, but setting check-certificate to yes
enables trust chain validation from local certificate store. CRL checking is never done.
