copy
This command copies a boot file, code image, or configuration file
between the access point’s flash memory and a FTP/TFTP
server. When you save the configuration settings to a file on a
FTP/TFTP server, that file can later be downloaded to the access
point to restore system operation. The success of the file transfer
depends on the accessibility of the FTP/TFTP server and the
quality of the network connection.
