NOTE: Dell Networking OS imposes a length limit on the password you create for performing the
secure copy operation. Your password can be no longer than 32 characters.
When you use the copy running-config startup-config command to copy the running configuration
(the startup configuration file amended by any configuration changes made since the system was started) to the
startup configuration file, the Dell Networking OS creates a backup file on the internal flash of the startup
configuration.
The Dell Networking OS supports copying the running-configuration to a TFTP server or to an FTP server. For
example:
• copy running-config tftp:
• copy running-config ftp:
NOTE: Dell Networking OS imposes a length limit on the password you create for accessing the FTP
server. Your password can be no longer than 32 characters.

specified in the ensuing prompts. Entering flash: in the second position indicates that the target is the internal
Flash. The source is on a secure server running SSH, so you are prompted for the user datagram protocol (UDP)
port of the SSH server on the remote host.
