Directory Operations for Class C Flash File System

Create a new directory

To create a directory in CompactFlash memory, use the mkdir {flash: slot0:} command.

The following example shows output for first displaying the contents of an internal CompactFlash card, and then creating a directory named config and a subdirectory named test-config:

Router# dir flash:

Directory of flash:/

3 -rw- 6458208 Mar 01 1993 00:04:08 c3725-i-mz.tmp

128094208 bytes total (121634816 bytes free) Router# mkdir flash:/config

Create directory filename [config]?

Created dir flash:/config

Router# mkdir flash:/config/test-config

Create directory filename [/config/test-config]?

Created dir flash:/config/test-config

Router# dir flash:

Directory of flash:/

3	-rw-	6458208		Mar 01 1993 00:04:08		c3725-i-mz.tmp
1580	drw-		0	Mar 01	1993 23:48:36	config
128094208		bytes total	(121626624		bytes free)
Router# cd flash:/config
Router# dir flash:
Directory of flash:/config/
1581	drw-		0	Mar 01	1993 23:50:08	test-config
128094208		bytes total	(121626624		bytes free)

Remove a directory

To remove a directory from CompactFlash memory, use the rmdir {flash: slot0:} command.

Before you can remove a directory, all files and subdirectories must be removed from the directory.

The following example shows output for displaying the contents of an internal CompactFlash card, then removing the subdirectory named test-config:

Router# dir flash:

Directory of flash:/config/

1581 drw- 0 Mar 01 1993 23:50:08 test-config

128094208 bytes total (121626624 bytes free) Router# rmdir flash:/config/test-config

Remove directory filename [/config/test-config]?

Delete flash:/config/test-config? [confirm]

Removed dir flash:/config/test-config

Router# dir flash:

Directory of flash:/config/
