-file to file – Copies a file within the switch directory, assigning it a new name.

-file to running-config – Copies a file in the switch to the running configuration.

-file to startup-config – Copies a file in the switch to the startup configuration.

-file to tftp – Copies a file from the switch to a TFTP server.

-running-config to file – Copies the running configuration to a file.

-running-config to startup-config – Copies the running config to the startup config.

-running-config to tftp – Copies the running configuration to a TFTP server.

-startup-config to file – Copies the startup configuration to a file on the switch.

-startup-config to running-config – Copies the startup config to the running config.

-startup-config to tftp – Copies the startup configuration to a TFTP server.

-tftp to file – Copies a file from a TFTP server to the switch.

-tftp to running-config – Copies a file from a TFTP server to the running config.

-tftp to startup-config – Copies a file from a TFTP server to the startup config.

-file to unit – Copies a file from this switch to another unit in the stack.

-unit to file – Copies a file from another unit in the stack to this switch.

TFTP Server IP Address – The IP address of a TFTP server.

File Type – Specify config (configuration) to copy configuration settings.
