Renaming Files and Directories
Use the rename command to change the name of a file from its original name to a different name. Remember
to use the same file extension, if applicable, to ensure that the file type remains unchanged.
Use the following command to rename a file named iot_test.cfg to iot_accept.cfg on the /flash local device.
[local]host_name# rename /flash/iot_test.cfg /flash/iot_accept.cfg -noconfirm
Use the rename command only within the same local device. You cannot rename a file and place it onto
another local device at the same time. To move a renamed file, you must use the copy command.
Important
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.
