bootflash: file system to or from a FTP, TFTP, SFTP, or SCP server.

Saving Command Output to a File
You can force all screen output to go to a file by appending > filename to any command. For example,
enter show interface > samplefile at the EXEC mode switch prompt to save the interface configuration
to samplefile—a file created at the same directory level. At the EXEC mode switch prompt, issue a dir
command to view all files in this directory, including the recently saved samplefile.
Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide for further information.
