Command

Purpose

Step 3

 

 

archive /xtract source-url

Extract a file into a directory on the flash file system.

 

flash:/file-url [dir/file...]

For source-url, specify the source URL alias for the local file system. The

 

 

 

 

-filename.is the file from which to extract files. These options are supported:

 

 

local flash file system syntax:

 

 

 

flash:

 

 

FTP syntax:

 

 

 

ftp:[[//username[:password]@location]/directory]/-filename.

 

 

RCP syntax:

 

 

 

rcp:[[//username@location]/directory]/-filename.

 

 

TFTP syntax:

 

 

 

tftp:[[//location]/directory]/-filename.

 

 

For flash:/file-url[dir/file...], specify the location on the local flash file system

 

 

from which the file is extracted. Use the dir/file... option to specify a list of files

 

 

or directories within the file to be extracted. If none are specified, all files and

 

 

directories are extracted.

Step 4

 

 

more [/ascii /binary /ebcdic]

Display the contents of any readable file, including a file on a remote file

 

file-url

system.

 

 

 

 

This example shows how to create a file. This command writes the contents of the new-configsdirectory on the local flash device to a file named saved. on the TFTP server at 172.20.10.30:

Switch# archive /create tftp:172.20.10.30/saved. flash:/new-configs

This example shows how to display the contents of a switch file that is in flash memory:

Switch# archive /table flash:c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2. info (219 bytes)

c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2/ (directory) c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2/html/ (directory) c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2/html/foo.html (0 bytes) c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2/c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2.bin (610856 bytes) c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2/info (219 bytes)

This example shows how to display only the /html directory and its contents:

Switch# archive /table flash: c3750-universal-mz.122-35/htmlc3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2/html c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2/html/ (directory) c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2/html/const.htm (556 bytes) c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2/html/xhome.htm (9373 bytes) c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2/html/menu.css (1654 bytes) <output truncated>

This example shows how to extract the contents of a file located on the TFTP server at 172.20.10.30.

Switch# archive /xtract tftp:/172.20.10.30/saved. flash:/new-configs

This example shows how to display the contents of a configuration file on a TFTP server:

Switch# more tftp://serverA/hampton/savedconfig
