Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying files 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 file to a remote system, combine the file-origin syntax for a local file location with the file-destination syntax
for a 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 syntax for a local file location.

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

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.
