The file option says it will generate the file at the specified path but doesn't seem to work. Not even in the current location.

vyos@vyos:~$ generate tech-support archive file
Possible completions:
  <Enter>       Execute the current command
  <file>        Generate compressed tech-support archive at the specified path

  <ftp://<user>:<passwd>@<host>/<file>>
vyos@vyos:~$ generate tech-support archive file

  <Enter>       Execute the current command

It generated the archive by appending "file" in the name.

vyos@vyos:~$ pwd

The command mentions that the file is saved to: /opt/vyatta/etc/config/support/file.vyos.tech-support-archive.2021-09-25-150643.tgz thus ls from the home directory will not reveal a file.

@c-po The mentioned completion help stating is wrong then as it says at the specified path.

The default path to generate the archive file is at /opt/vyatta/etc/config/support/, the "file" option is just appending "file" in front of the name it does not make much difference with just archive command:

vyos@vyos:~$ generate tech-support archive
Saving the archivals...
Saved tech-support archival at /opt/vyatta/etc/config/support/vyos.tech-support-archive.2021-09-26-064757.tgz
vyos@vyos:~$
