File Storage
The Dell Networking OS can use the internal Flash, external Flash, or remote devices to store les.
The system stores les on the internal Flash by default, but can be congured to store les elsewhere.
To view le system information, use the following command.
• View information about each le system.
EXEC Privilege mode
show file-systems
The output of the show file-systems command in the following example shows the total capacity, amount of free memory, le
structure, media type, read/write privileges for each storage device in use.

Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying les is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format copy source-file-url
destination-file-url
.
NOTE
: For a detailed description of the copy command, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Reference .
• To copy a local le to a remote system, combine the le-origin syntax for a local le location with the le-destination syntax for a remote
le location.
• To copy a remote le to Dell Networking system, combine the le-origin syntax for a remote le location with the le-destination syntax
for a local le location.
