Configuration File Management
You can store on and access files from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy files on the system
from EXEC Privilege mode.
Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying files is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format copy
source-file-url destination-file-url.
• To copy a local file to a remote system, combine the file-origin syntax for a local file location with the
file-destination syntax for a remote file location (Table 3-2).
• To copy a remote file to a Dell Force10 system, combine the
file-origin syntax for a remote file location
with the
file-destination syntax for a local file location (Table 3-2).
Important Points to Remember
• You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
• You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
• When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if a DNS server is configured.
Note: Using flash memory cards in the system that have not been approved by Dell Force10 can cause
unexpected system behavior, including a reboot.
Note: For a detailed description of the copy command, refer to the FTOS Command Reference Guide.
