44.3 Copying image files by using FTP
You can download a switch image from an FTP server or upload the image from the
switch to an FTP server.
You download a switch image file from a server to upgrade the switch software. You can
overwrite the current image with the new one or keep the current image after a download.
You upload a switch image file to a server for backup purposes. You can use this
uploaded image for future downloads to the switch or another switch of the same type.
44.3.1 Preparing to download or upload an image file by using FTP
You can copy images files to or from an FTP server.
The FTP protocol requires a client to send a remote username and password on each
FTP request to a server.
Before you begin downloading or uploading an image file by using FTP, do these tasks:
• Ensure that the switch has a route to the FTP server. The switch and the FTP
server must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic
between subnets. Check connectivity to the FTP server by using the ping
command.
• If you are accessing the switch through the console or a Telnet session and you
do not have a valid username, make sure that the current FTP username is the
one that you want to use for the FTP download.
• When you upload an image file to the FTP server, it must be properly configured
to accept the write request from the user on the switch.
For more information, see the documentation for your FTP server.
