Chapter 4 | System Management Commands
File Management
– 128 –
copy This command moves (upload/download) a code image or configuration file
between the switch’s flash memory and an FTP/TFTP server or a USB memory stick.
When you save the system code or configuration settings to a file on an FTP/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/TFTP server
and the quality of the network connection.
