File and Directory Management
A number of CLI commands allow you to manage files on your switch by grouping them into sub-
directories within the switch’s flash directory. These commands perform the same functions as file
management software applications (such as Microsoft’s Explorer) perform on a workstation. For
documentation purposes, we have categorized the commands into three groups.
• Directory commands allow you to create, copy, move, remove, rename, and display directories.
• File commands allow you copy, edit, rename, remove, change, and display file attributes.
• Utility commands display memory and system diagnostic information.
The following illustration represents a sample flash directory that contains four directories and five files at
the top level. The working directory and the certified directory both hold five files. The network directory
holds one file and the switch directory is empty. This sample flash directory is used in the explanations of
the directory, file and utility CLI commands in the following section.
