File Management
– 105 –
copy This command moves (upload/download) a code image or configuration file
between the switch’s flash memory and an FTP/TFTP server. When you save the
system code or configuration settings to a file on an FTP/TFTP server, that file can
later be downloaded to the switch to restore system operation. The success of the
file transfer depends on the accessibility of the FTP/TFTP server and the quality of
the network connection.

Command Usage
◆ The system prompts for data required to complete the copy command.
◆ The destination file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), and the maximum
length for file names is 32 characters for files on the switch or 128 characters for
files on the server. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”)
◆ The switch supports only two operation code files, but the maximum number
of user-defined configuration files is 16.
◆ You can use “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” as the source to copy from the
factory default configuration file, but you cannot use it as the destination.
◆ To replace the startup configuration, you must use startup-config as the
destination.
