Usage 
Information
FTOS supports a maximum of 100 files at the root directory level, on both the internal and 
external Flash.
When copying a file to a remote location (for example, using Secure Copy [SCP]), enter only the 
keywords and FTOS prompts you need for the rest of the information. For example, when using 
SCP, you can enter copy running-config scp: where running-config is the 
source and the target is specified in the ensuing prompts. FTOS prompts you to enter any 
required information, as needed for the named destination—remote destination, destination 
filename, user ID, password, etc.
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, FTOS creates a backup 
file on the internal flash of the startup configuration.
FTOS supports copying the running-configuration to a TFTP server or to an FTP server. For 
example:
• copy running-config tftp:
• copy running-config ftp:
Example
FTOS#copy running-config scp:/
Address or name of remote host []: 10.10.10.1
Destination file name [startup-config]? old_running
User name to login remote host? sburgess
Password to login remote host? dilling
In this copy scp: flash: example, specifying SCP in the first position indicates that the 
target is to be 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.
Example
FTOS#copy scp: flash:
Address or name of remote host []: 10.11.199.134
Port number of the server [22]: 99
Source file name []: test.cfg
User name to login remote host: admin
Password to login remote host:
Destination file name [test.cfg]: test1.cfg
