AP#
copy This command copies a boot file, code image, or configuration file between the
access point’s flash memory and a FTP/TFTP server. When you save the
configuration settings to a file on a FTP/TFTP server, that file can later be
downloaded to the access point to restore system operation. The success of the file
transfer depends on the accessibility of the FTP/TFTP server and the quality of the
network connection.
