Downloading Software or Configuration Files to Flash Memory

Flash memory or, for the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance, to the external Flash memory
from a TFTP, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server.
This section includes the following topics:

• Downloading a File to the Startup or Running Configuration, page 41-4
Downloading a File to a Specific Location
This section describes how to download the application image, ASDM software, a configuration file, or
any other file that needs to be downloaded to Flash memory. To download a file to the running or startup
configuration, see the “Downloading a File to the Startup or Running Configuration” section on
page 41-4.

section on page 38-2. For information about installing Cisco Secure Desktop on the security appliance,
see the Cisco Secure Desktop Configuration Guide for Cisco ASA 5500 Series Administrators.
To configure the security appliance to use a specific application image or ASDM image if you have more
than one installed, or have installed them in external Flash memory see the “Configuring the Application
Image and ASDM Image to Boot” section on page 41-5.
Note To successfully copy ASDM Version 5.0(5) to Flash memory, you must be running Version 7.0.
To configure the security appliance to use a specific configuration as the startup configuration, see the
“Configuring the File to Boot as the Startup Configuration” section on page 41-5.
