File System Management
Basic System Configuration Guide 171
On the 7750 SR and 7950 XRS, if the host portion of the URL is an IPv6 address, then the
address should be enclosed in square brackets. For example:
ftp://user:passw@[3ffe::97]/./testfile.txt
tftp://[1111:2222:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888]/./testfile.txt
The system accepts either forward slash (/) or backslash (\) characters to delimit directory
and/or filenames in URLs. Similarly, the SR OS SCP client application can use either slash
or backslash characters, but not all SCP clients treat backslash characters as equivalent to
slash characters. In particular, UNIX systems will often times interpret the backslash
character as an escape character. This can cause problems when using an external SCP client
application to send files to the SCP server. If the external system treats the backslash like an
escape character, the backslash delimiter will get stripped by the parser and will not be
transmitted to the SCP server.
For example, a destination directory specified as “cf1:\dir1\file1” will be transmitted to the
SCP server as “cf1:dir1file1” where the backslash escape characters are stripped by the SCP
client system before transmission. On systems where the client treats the backslash like an
escape character, a double backslash (\\) or the forward slash (/) can typically be used to
properly delimit directories and the filename.
Wildcards
The platform SROS supports the standard DOS wildcard characters. The asterisk (*) can
represent zero or more characters in a string of characters, and the question mark (?) can
represent any one character.
ftp-url ftp://[username[:password]@]host/path An absolute ftp path from the root of the remote
file system.
username is the ftp user name
password is the ftp user password
host is the remote host
path is the path to the directory or file
ftp://[username[:password]@]host/./path A relative ftp path from the user’s home directory.
Note the period and slash (“./”) in this syntax
compared to the absolute path.
tftp-url tftp://host[/path]/filename tftp is only supported for operations on file-urls.
