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.
