2 Specify the transfer mode. If you are transferring a switch image file, you must specify the binary
transfer mode on your FTP client. If you are transferring a configuration file, you must specify the ASCII
transfer mode.
3 Transfer the file. Use the FTP “put” command or click the client’s download button to send the file to
the switch.
When you use FTP to transfer a file to the switch, the file is automatically placed in the switch’s /flash/
working directory. For details, on using CLI commands to managing files once they are on the switch
refer to “File and Directory Management” on page 2-5.
Note. You must use the binary mode (bin) to transfer image files via FTP.
