Hi guys my computer just died and I have lost all my files, Now I was using IBM Bluemix to make a node js application so all my files are on the IBM Bluemix space but I somehow can't seem to download my files that are there. It lets you download starter code but it doesn't let you download any recent pushes using cloud foundry. I'm really stuck at this any help will be useful.

Since it's a node.js application, you could also use the Bluemix file viewer to access the files directly from the application and download them. Just choose "Files" from the UI menu on the left, and navigate to the "app" directory. Your application files should be there. You can view them by clicking on them, and then download them with the little down arrow icon in the upper right:

I just learned this Cloud Foundry way to access the app (each app is a User in the Linux VM) in details. You need to install Cloud Foundry CLI - https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/cf-cli/install-go-cli.html and use an installer for your platform.
After installed cf cli, then one way is first to log into your api end point (the path before the command prompt > are just my path to a local server/pc) typically where the downloaded / local app codes are located:
L:\IBM Cloud\PythonFlaskLab>cf login Email> [email protected] Password> xxxxxxxxx Authenticating... OK L:\IBM Cloud\PythonFlaskLab>cf api https://api.ng.bluemix.net Setting api endpoint to https://api.ng.bluemix.net... OK
Next:
cf ssh with your usual username and pw. (cf is the Cloud Foundry CLI that you can download and install)after you login, it is like a Linux VM with your app as user name:
An example is shown below:
L:\IBM Cloud\PythonFlaskLab>cf ssh CommunityPythonFlaskTrialLR vcap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:~$ dir app deps logs staging_info.yml tmp vcap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:~$ cd app vcap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:~/app$ dir LICENSE manifest.yml NOTICE Procfile README.md requirements.txt static welcome.py
You can use Linux scp to send to whatever PC or server with a FQDN name.
You can use: cf apps to view all your apps
L:\IBM Cloud\PythonFlaskLab>cf apps Getting apps in org [email protected] / space dev as [email protected]... OK name requested state instances memory disk urls abrsserver1 started 1/1 32M 1G abrsserver1.mybluemix.net Community Python Flask Trial LR started 1/1 128M 1G Community-Python-Flask-Trial-LR.mybluemix.net RPcourseraIOT started 1/1 256M 1G RPcourseraIOT.mybluemix.net
This would be a more manual process (compared with the plug in which yet to try out) but it let you know what is going on under the hood or edit your app directly on the cloud vm or for trouble shooting and move around. Getting to know the Linux details really is really helpful for me to open the hood cover if I want to.
