Hi there,
I have pretty much the exact code you have here, and yet it still doesnt work, saying "No such file or directory"
Is this a limitation of the community edition?

import requests
CHUNK_SIZE=4096
def get_remote_file(dataSrcUrl, destFile):
    '''Simple old skool python function to load a remote url into local hdfs '''
    destFile = "/dbfs" + destFile
    #
    with requests.get(dataSrcUrl, stream=True) as resp:
        if resp.ok:
            with open(destFile, "wb") as f:
                for chunk in resp.iter_content(chunk_size=CHUNK_SIZE):
                    f.write(chunk)

get_remote_file("https://gitlab.com/opstar/share20/-/raw/master/university.json", "/Filestore/data/lgdt/university.json" )

The directory "dbfs:/Filestore/data/lgdt" definitely exists as i can see it when running the dbutils.fs.ls(path) command
