NETCONF get running configuration

Question

I am trying to get a running configuration from a network device, using NETCONF (not one of the well known such as Cisco/Juniper, etc).

Using ncclient, I successfully get the capabilities and schemas but when trying to get running config the SSH session is suddenly closed.

Is there any way to send a XML file to the server instead of using the get_config() method ?

You can send RPC's direclty with manager.rpc()
