copy

This command moves (upload/download) a code image or configuration file between the switch’s
flash memory and an FTP/SFTP/TFTP server. When you save the system code or configuration
settings to a file on an FTP/SFTP/TFTP server, that file can later be downloaded to the switch to
restore system operation. The success of the file transfer depends on the accessibility of the
FTP/SFTP/TFTP server and the quality of the network connection.

Syntax

copy file {file | ftp | running-config | sftp | startup-config | tftp}
copy running-config {file | ftp | sftp | startup-config | tftp}
copy startup-config {file | ftp | running-config | sftp | tftp}
copy tftp {file | https-certificate | public-key | running-config | startup-config}

file - Keyword that allows you to copy to/from a file.

Command Usage

The system prompts for data required to complete the copy command.

The destination file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), and the maximum length for file
names is 32 characters for files on the switch or 127 characters for files on the server. (Valid
characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”)

The switch supports only two operation code files, but the maximum number of user-defined
configuration files is 16.

You can use “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” as the source to copy from the factory default
configuration file, but you cannot use it as the destination.

To replace the startup configuration, you must use startup-config as the destination.

For information on specifying an https-certificate, see

“Replacing the Default Secure-site

Certificate”

on page 848. For information on configuring the switch to use HTTPS for a secure

connection, see the

ip http secure-server

command.

When logging into an FTP/SFTP server, the interface prompts for a user name and password
configured on the remote server. Note that “Anonymous” is set as the default user name.
