For example, you can copy an ArubaOS image file from an SCP server to a system partition on a controller or
copy the startup configuration on a controller to a file on a TFTP server, You can also store the contents of a
controller’s flash file system to an archive file which you can then copy to an FTP server. You can use SCP to
securely download system image files from a remote host to the controller or securely transfer a configuration
file from flash to a remote host.
Transferring ArubaOS Image Files
You can download an ArubaOS image file onto a controller from a TFTP, FTP, or SCP server. In addition, the
WebUI allows you to upload an ArubaOS image file from the local PC on which you are running the browser.
When you transfer an ArubaOS image file to a controller, you must specify the system partition to which the
file is copied. The WebUI shows the current content of the system partitions on the controller. You have the
option of rebooting the controller with the transferred image file.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Maintenance > Controller > Image Management page.
2. Select TFTP, FTP, SCP, or Upload Local File.
3. Enter or select the appropriate values for the file transfer method.
4. Select the system partition to which the image file is copied.
