ASA_IP/disk{0 | 1}/filename
•
To copy to local flash memory, enter the following command:
hostname# copy disk{0 | 1}:/[path/]filename disk{0 | 1}:/[path/]newfilename

following command:
hostname/contexta# copy running-config tftp:/server[/path]/filename
Copying the Configuration from the Terminal Display
To print the configuration to the terminal, enter the following command:
hostname# show running-config
Copy the output from this command, and then paste the configuration into a text file.
