NOTE 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.
Examples of copying files to and from the chassis are shown below. The first example shows copying a remote
image file onto the chassis. The second example shows copying a local configuration file to a remote FTP
server.

directory that is identified by name only. The file-systems are config,
images, and syslog. The specified file-system must be appropriate
for the type of file being copied. For example, if an attempt is made to

returned because the name of the file is not appropriate for the
file-system. The file-system specification is always followed by a
colon (:).
