This example shows how to copy a configuration file named host1-confgfrom the netadmin1 directory on the remote server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101 and to load and run those commands on the switch:

Switch# copy ftp://netadmin1:mypass@172.16.101.101/host1-confg system:running-config

Configure using host1-confg from 172.16.101.101? [confirm]

Connected to 172.16.101.101

Loading 1112 byte file host1-confg:![OK]

Switch#

%SYS-5-CONFIG: Configured from host1-config by ftp from 172.16.101.101

This example shows how to specify a remote username of netadmin1. The software copies the configuration file host2-confgfrom the netadmin1 directory on the remote server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101 to the switch startup configuration.

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip ftp username netadmin1

Switch(config)# ip ftp password mypass

Switch(config)# end

Switch# copy ftp: nvram:startup-config
