Privileged-execute mode.
Privilege Level:
Unrestricted read-write user.
Usage Guidelines:
You may download image and configuration files from an FTP server to the system chassis. You may also
upload log and configuration files from the system chassis to an FTP server.
Download image files to upgrade system firmware and download configuration files to quickly replicate a
desired configuration. Upload configuration and log files to maintain backups and troubleshoot the system.
Image files require additional processing. After they have been copied onto the system chassis, image files
must be installed before they can be used to initialize the system.
After configuration files are downloaded to the system chassis, they may be specified in the configure
boot-config command and used the next time the system is booted.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP is used to copy data to and from a remote host. As such, part of the copy
command requires you to include your network user name and password, as well as the host DNS name or IP
address.
The copy and show logging commands are the only CLI commands which recognize <Ctrl>-c. You may enter
<Ctrl>-c during the uploading/downloading process to terminate file transfer in the event network transfer
hangs.
NOTE You can only download image and configuration files. Log files cannot be downloaded. You can
only upload configuration and log files. System-image data cannot be uploaded.
