Chapter 5 Managing the ACE Software
Using the File System on the ACE
When you select a destination file system using ftp:, sftp:, or tftp:, the ACE
performs the following tasks:
• Prompts you for your username and password if the destination file system
requires user authentication.
• Prompts you for the server information if you do not provide the information
with the command.
• Copies the file to the root directory of the destination file system if you do not
provide path information.
For example, to save a software system image t
o a remote FTP server, enter:
host1/Admin# copy image:sb-ace.NOV_11 ftp://192.168.1.2
Uncompressing Files in the disk0: File System
To uncompress (unzip) LZ77 coded files in the disk0: file system (for example,
zipped probe script files), use the gunzip command in Exec mode. This command
is useful in uncompressing large files. The filename must end with a .gz extension
for the file to be uncompressed using the gunzip command. The .gz extension
indicates a file zipped by the gzip (GNU zip) compression utility.
The syntax for the command is:
gunzip disk0:fi
lename
The fi
lename argument identifies the name of the compressed file on the disk0:
file system. The filename must end with a .gz extension. To display a list of
available zipped files on disk0:, use the dir command.
For example, to unzip a compressed series of probe script files residing in the
di
sk0: file system, enter:
host1/Admin# gunzip disk0:PROBE_SCRIPTS.gz
