Working with the Flash File System

Displaying Information about Files on a File System

You can view a list of the contents of a file system before manipulating its contents. For example, before copying a new configuration file to flash memory, you might want to verify that the file system does not already contain a configuration file with the same name. Similarly, before copying a flash configuration file to another location, you might want to verify its filename for use in another command.

To display information about files on a file system, use one of the privileged EXEC commands in Table B-2:

Table B-2	Commands for Displaying Information About Files
Command		Description
dir [/all] [filesystem:][filename]		Display a list of files on a file system.
show file systems		Display more information about each of the files on a file system.
show file information file-url		Display information about a specific file.
show file descriptors		Display a list of open file descriptors. File descriptors are the internal representations
		of open files. You can use this command to see if another user has a file open.

Changing Directories and Displaying the Working Directory

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change directories and display the working directory.

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	dir filesystem:	Display the directories on the specified file system.
		For filesystem:, use flash: for the system board flash device.
Step 2
	cd new_configs	Change to the directory of interest.
		The command example shows how to change to the directory named
		new_configs.
Step 3
	pwd	Display the working directory.
