522Managing System Files

Copying a File

You can perform the following copy operations:

•Copy a file from a TFTP server to nonvolatile storage.

•Copy a file from nonvolatile storage or temporary storage to a TFTP server.

•Copy a file from one area in nonvolatile storage to another.

•Copy a file to a new filename in nonvolatile storage.

To copy a file, use the following command.

copy source-url destination-url

A URL can be one of the following:

•[subdirname/]filename

•file:[subdirname/]filename

•tftp://ip-addr/[subdirname/]filename

•tmp:filename

The filename and file:filename URLs are equivalent. You can use either URL to refer to a file in an WSS switch’s nonvolatile memory.

The tftp://ip-addr/filenameURL refers to a file on a TFTP server. If DNS is configured on the WSS switch, you can specify a TFTP server’s hostname as an alternative to specifying the IP address.

The tmp:filename URL refers to a file in temporary storage. You can copy a file out of temporary storage but you cannot copy a file into temporary storage.

The subdirname/ option specifies a subdirectory.

If you are copying a system image file into nonvolatile storage, the destination-urlmust include the boot partition name. You can specify one of the following:

•boot0:/filename

•boot1:/filename

You must specify the boot partition that was not used to load the currently running image.

Note. You can copy a file from an WSS switch to a TFTP server or from a TFTP server to an WSS switch, but you cannot use WSS Software to copy a file directly from one TFTP server to another.

To copy the file floor2WSS from nonvolatile storage to a TFTP server, type the following command:

23x0# copy floor2WSS tftp://10.1.1.1/floor2WSS

success: sent 365 bytes in 0.401 seconds [ 910 bytes/sec]

The above command copies the file to the same filename on the TFTP server. To rename the file when copying it, type the following command:

23x0# copy floor2WSS tftp://10.1.1.1/floor2WSS-backup

success: sent 365 bytes in 0.401 seconds [ 910 bytes/sec]
