		File By Using RCP” section on page B-31.
		• For @location, specify the IP address of the RCP server.

The archive upload-swprivileged EXEC command builds an image file on the server by uploading these files in order: info, the Cisco IOS image, and the web management files. After these files are uploaded, the upload algorithm creates the file format.

Caution For the download and upload algorithms to operate properly, do not rename image names.

Copying an Image File from One Stack Member to Another

For switch stacks, the archive download-swand archive upload-swprivileged EXEC commands can be used only through the stack master. Software images downloaded to the stack master are automatically downloaded to the rest of the stack members.

To upgrade a switch that has an incompatible software image, use the archive copy-swprivileged EXEC command to copy the software image from an existing stack member to the one that has incompatible software. That switch automatically reloads and joins the stack as a fully functioning member.

Note To use the archive copy-swprivileged EXEC command, you must have downloaded from a TFTP server the images for both the stack member switch being added and the stack master. You use the archive download-swprivileged EXEC command to perform the download.
