AT-S63 Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide
Section II: Advanced Operations 229
Note
In earlier versions of the AT-S63 management software this
command also performed switch to switch file transfers for copying
files from a master switch to other switches in an enhanced stack.
That function is now part of “UPLOAD
METHOD=REMOTESWITCH” on page 238
The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file as it will be stored
in the file system or a flash memory card in the switch. Enclose the name
in double quotes if it contains a space. When specifying the new name of a
downloaded file, be sure to give it the correct three-letter extension that
corresponds to its file type. The extensions are shown in Table 5.
To store a file in a flash memory card, the destination filename must be
preceded with “cflash:”.
The APPBLOCK option of the DESTFILE parameter refers to the switch’s
application block, which is the portion of flash memory reserved for the
active AT-S63 image. The application block is separate from the file
system. The APPBLOCK option downloads a new version of the AT-S63
image file into the application block, making it the active image file on the
switch.
Note
The APPBLOCK option should only be used when downloading a
new AT-S63 image file, and not with any other file type.
The equivalent FILE and SCRFILE parameters specify the name of the file
on the TFTP server to download onto the switch.
Before downloading a file onto a switch using TFTP, note the following:
ˆ A TFTP download is supported from a local, Telnet or SSH
management session.
