Parameters
fileurl-source: Specifies the name or URL of the file to be copied. If the file resides on an FTP or TFTP server
rather than on the device, specify the URL of the file. Whether a URL is case sensitive depends on the
server.
fileurl-dest: Specifies the name or URL of the destination file or directory. To copy the source file to an FTP
or TFTP server, specify a URL. If you specify a directory, the device copies the specified file to the directory
and saves it with its original file name. Whether a URL is case sensitive depends on the server.

Enter the URL in the format ftp://FTP
username[:password]@server
address[:port number]/file path[/file

The username and password must be the same as
those configured on the FTP server. If the server

working directory on FTP server 1.1.1.1, enter the
URL ftp://1:1@1.1.1.1/startup.cfg.
To specify an IPv6 address, enclose the IPv6
address in square brackets ([ ]), for example,
ftp://test:test@[2001::1]:21/test.cfg.
On a TFTP server

tftp://server address[:port
number]/file path[/file name].
For example, to specify the startup.cfg file in the
working directory on TFTP server 1.1.1.1, enter
the URL tftp://1.1.1.1/startup.cfg.
To enter an IPv6 address, enclose the IPv6 address
in square brackets ([ ]), for example,
