Syntax copy source-url destination-url

source-url	Name and location of the file to copy. The uniform resource locator
	(URL) can be one of the following:
	•	[subdirname/]filename
	•	file:[subdirname/]filename
	•	tftp://ip-addr/[subdirname/]filename
	•	tmp:filename

For the filename, specify between 1 and 128 alphanumeric characters, with no spaces. Enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation.

The subdirname/ option specifies a subdirectory.

destination-url		Name of the copy and the location where to place the copy. The URL can
		be one of the following:
		•	[subdirname/]filename
		•	file:[subdirname/]filename
		•	tftp://ip-addr/[subdirname/]filename
		If you are copying a system image file into nonvolatile storage, the
		filename must include the boot partition name. You can specify one of the
		following:
		•	boot0:/filename
		•	boot1:/filename
Defaults	None.
Access	Enabled.

Usage The filename and file:filename URLs are equivalent. You can use either URL to refer to a file in a WSS’s nonvolatile memory. The tftp://ip-addr/filenameURL refers to a file on a TFTP server. If DNS is configured on the WSS, you can specify a TFTP server’s hostname as an alternative to specifying the IP address.

The tmp:filename URL specifies a file in temporary storage. You can copy a file out of temporary storage but you cannot copy a file into temporary storage. Temporary storage is reserved for use by WSS Software.

If you are copying a system image file into nonvolatile storage, the filename must be preceded by the boot partition name, which can be boot0 or boot1. Enter the filename as boot0:/filename or boot1:/filename. You must specify the boot partition that was not used to load the currently running image.

The maximum supported file size for TFTP is 32 MB.
