Important Points to Remember
You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if a domain name server (DNS) server is
configured.
The usbflash command is supported on the device. Refer to your system’s Release Notes for a list of
approved USB vendors.

Save the Running-Configuration
The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Dell Networking recommends
coping your running-configuration to the startup-configuration.
The system uses the startup-configuration during boot-up to configure the system. The startup-
configuration is stored in the internal flash on the system by default, but it can be saved on a USB flash
device or a remote server.
The commands in this section follow the same format as those commands in the Copy Files to and from
the System section but use the filenames startup-configuration and running-configuration. These
commands assume that current directory is the internal flash, which is the system default.
Save the running-configuration to the startup-configuration on the system.
