remote file location.
• To copy a remote file to Dell Networking system, combine the file-origin syntax for a remote file location with the file-destination

username:password@{hostip |
hostname}/filepath/filename
ftp://username:password@{hostip
| hostname}/ filepath/filename
For a remote file location:
TFTP server
copy tftp://{hostip |
hostname}/filepath/ filename
tftp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
For a remote file location:
SCP server
copy scp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/ filename
scp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
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.
EXEC Privilege mode
copy running-config startup-config
• Save the running-configuration to an FTP server.
EXEC Privilege mode
copy running-config ftp:// username:password@{hostip | hostname}/filepath/ filename
• Save the running-configuration to a TFTP server.
EXEC Privilege mode
copy running-config tftp://{hostip | hostname}/ filepath/filename
• Save the running-configuration to an SCP server.
