Appendix A Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software Images
Working with Software Images
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to upload an image to an RCP server:
The archive upload-sw privileged 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 tar file format.
Caution For the download and upload algorithms to operate properly, do not rename image names.
Command Purpose
