copy
This command moves (upload/download) a code image or configuration file
between the switch’s flash memory and a TFTP server. When you save the system
code or configuration settings to a file on a TFTP server, that file can later be
downloaded to the switch to restore system opera tion. The su ccess of the file
transfer depends on the accessibility of the TFTP server and t he quality of the
network connection.
