As others have said: you need to use jigdo-lite rather than jigdo-file.
Download the netinst<dot>template and netinst<dot>Jigdo files from
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/
as below:
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-12.7.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-12.7.0-amd64-netinst.template
Run jigdo-lite in a terminal as root
It will prompt you for the location of the jigdo file - probably something like
/home/gene/Downloads/debian-12.7.0-amd64.jigdo
It should prompt you for the location of a Debian mirror - give it a URL for
your nearest Debian mirror or http://deb.debian.org/debian/
It will look in the directory you gave for the .jigdo file to find the
.template and should not need to redownload this.
It should then "just work" - I've just been doing exactly this to check.
All the very best, as ever,

Thank you Andy, obviously jigdo-file was wrong command. already printed
FFR. IMO the man pages suck, no obvious cross correlation to guide the
user toward success. Needs at least a see also section at the bottom.
gene@coyote:~/linuxcnc_trixie_install$ jigdo-file mi
--template=debian-testing-amd64-netinst.template
Found 0 of the 1001 files required by the template
Will not create image or temporary file - try again with different input
files
What am I doing wrong?
tnx.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
