Extracting a tar File

To extract a tar file into a directory on the flash file system, use this privileged EXEC command:
archive tar /xtract source-url flash:/file-url [dir/file...]
For source-url, specify the source URL alias for the local file system. The se options are supported:
• For the local flash file system, the syntax is
flash:
• For the FTP, the syntax is
ftp:[[//username[:password]@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
• For the RCP, the syntax is
rcp:[[//username@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
• For the TFTP, the syntax is
tftp:[[//location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
The tar-filename.tar is the tar file from which to extract files.
For flash:/file-url [dir/file...], specify the location on the local flash file system into which the tar file is
extracted. Use the dir/file... option to specify an optional list of files or directories within the tar file to
be extracted. If none are specified, all files and directories are extracted.
This example shows how to extract the contents of a tar file located on the TFTP server at 172.20.10.30.
This command extracts just the new-configs directory into the root directory on the local flash file
system. The remaining files in the saved.tar file are ignored.
Switch# archive tar /xtract tftp://172.20.10.30/saved.tar flash:/new-configs
Displaying the Contents of a File
To display the contents of any readable file, including a file on a remote file system, use the more [/ascii
| /binary | /ebcdic] file-url privileged EXEC command:.
This example shows how to display the contents of a configuration file on a TFTP server:
Switch# more tftp://serverA/hampton/savedconfig
