Downloading and storing a PDF file to FileStore no...

I'm trying to download a PDF file and store it in FileStore using this code in a Notebook:

with open('/dbfs/FileStore/file.pdf', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(requests.get('https://url.com/file.pdf').content)

But I'm getting this error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?

Might be easier to use curl commnad .. in a notebook you can run as shell command or python to first load the file into local driver temp storage

%sh curl https://url.com/file.pdf --output /tmp/file.pdf

or in python

import urllib
urllib.request.urlretrieve("https://url.com/file.pdf", "/tmp/file.pdf.csv")

Then move the file to DBFS

dbutils.fs.mv("file:/tmp/file.pdf", "dbfs:/Filestore/file.pdf
