File System Commands
The file system commands allow you to perform maintenance and recovery on the router. These commands allow
you to:
• Format the file system
• List the contents of the file system
• Copy, rename, and delete files
The router file system is DOS-compatible, and the file system commands are similar to the DOS commands of the
same name.
COPY
Copies a file from the source to the destination. This command allows you to update the router software level or to
write configuration files to a TFTP server.
A filename is either the name of a local file or a file accessed remotely via a TFTP server.
A local filename is in the format: yyyyyyyy.yyy.
A remotely accessed filename is specified as: [e-mail]:yyyyyyyy.yyy
where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
is the (optional) TFTP server address and
yyyyyyyy.yyy
is the name of the file to be copied.
If the TFTP server address is not specified, the address used is either the one from which the router booted or the
one permanently configured in the boot system. Issue a
sync
command after a
copy
command to commit the
changes to FLASH memory.
Caution
: No warning message is issued if you copy over an existing file.
