Saving and Copying Files

HP Fabric Switch OS allows administrators to save files to and from the system, as well as between files, using the CLI copy command. You may download and install image and configuration files from an FTP server to the system chassis.

Download image files to upgrade switch system firmware and download configuration files to quickly replicate a desired configuration. Upload configuration and log files to maintain backups and troubleshoot the system.

Files are copied across the network using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). As such, part of the copy command requires you to include your network user name and password, as well as the host DNS name or IP address.

Download and Upload Capabilities

Image files: Download only. No upload.

Config files: Download and upload

Log files: Upload only

The copy Command

The copy command may be executed in the privileged-execute mode only.

The syntax for copying a remote file to the local system is:

copy ftp://usr:passwd@host/loc fs:file

or for copying a local file to a remote host,

copy fs:file ftp://usr:passwd@host/loc

The arguments to the copy command are described below.

Table 6-5	Copy Command Descriptions
argument	description
usr	Network user name for executing the FTP command on the specified host. The user name is
	always followed by a colon (:).
passwd	Network password for executing the FTP command on the specified host. The password is
	always followed by the “at” character (@). A password is sent as-is, without encryption, to
	the target host; however, the system, and connected hosts should be protected behind a
	firewall.
host	IP address or DNS name of the remote host system. The host is always followed by a slash.
loc	Location of the file. The format of the path is appropriate for the host system (e.g., forward
	slashes on Linux systems or back-slashes on Windows systems). Path information may not
	be supported by your FTP server. If this is the case, copy files to and from your top-level
	home directory and omit any path information.
