Copying Files
These instructions assume that you are at the root prompt for the Exec mode. To save your current configuration,
enter the following command:
[local]host_name# copy from_url to_url [-noconfirm]
To copy a configuration file called system.cfg from a directory that was called cfgfiles to a directory named
configs_old, enter the following command:
[local]host_name# copy /flash/cfgfiles/system.cfg /flash/configs_old/system_2011.cfg
To copy a configuration file called init_config.cfg to the root directory of a TFTP server with a hostname of
config_server, enter the following command:
[local]host_name# copy /flash/cfgfiles/init_confg.cfg tftp://config_server/init_config.cfg
Deleting Files
The delete command removes a designated file from its specified location on the local file system.
This command does not support wildcard entries; each filename must be specified in its entirety.Important
Do not delete the boot.sys file. If deleted, the system will not reboot on command and will be rendered
inoperable.
Caution
[local]host_name# delete { /flash | /usb1 | /hd-raid }/filename [ -noconfirm ]
The following command deletes a file named test.cfg from the /flash directory.
[local]host_name# delete /flash/test.cfg
Removing Directories
The rmdir command deletes a current directory on the specific local device. This directory can then be
incorporated as part of the path name for any file located in the local file system.
The directory you want to remove (delete) must be empty before executing the rmdir command. If the
directory is not empty, the CLI displays a "Directory not empty" message and will not execute.
Important
[local]host_name# rmdir url /dir_name
The following command deletes an empty directory named configs in the /flash directory.
[local]host_name# rmdir /flash/configs
Formatting Local Devices
The format command performs a low-level format of a local device. This operation formats the device to use
the FAT16 formatting method, which is required for proper read/write functionality with the operating system.
