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 a WSS’s nonvolatile
memory.
The tftp://ip-addr/filename URL 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 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-url must 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.
The maximum supported file size for TFTP is 32 MB.
To copy the file floor2wss from nonvolatile storage to a TFTP server, type the following command:
WSS# copy floor2wss tftp://10.1.1.1/floor2mx
success: sent 365 bytes in 0.401 seconds [ 910 bytes/sec]
Note. You can copy a file from a WSS to a TFTP server or from a TFTP server to a
WSS, but you cannot use WSS Software to copy a file directly from one TFTP server to
another.
