This happens for all apps in all spaces:

$ cf files voter-module
Getting files for app voter-module in org FrameworksAndRuntimes / space dsyer as dsyer@gopivotal.com...
FAILED
Server error, status code: 400, error code: 190001, message: File error: Request failed for app: voter-module, instance: 0 and path:  as the instance is not found.

Hi Dave,

'cf files' is only supported for apps deployed to DEAs, not DIEGO. Can you confirm what your apps are running on?
We have a story upcoming to improve the command's help and error messages.

Dies Koper

We have improved the error message and help text of cf files in cf CLI release v6.15.0 published two days ago.

Will diego cells ever support CF FIles or only CF ssh going forward?

That's a question for the Diego PM, @emalm.

@mgunter-pivotal: It's theoretically possible, but not currently prioritized.

Thanks,
Eric, CF Runtime Diego PM

Any update on this? Is this being worked upon? What's the alternative to 'cf files' in Diego?
