Copying Files from NVFS to DOS
When copying files from NVFS to DOS on FN, LN, or CN routers equipped with
Flash System Controllers, make sure that the NVFS file name contains no more
than eight characters with an optional extension of no more than three characters
preceded by a dot (xxxxxxxx.xxx). NVFS file names can consist of one to 15
characters; DOS file names can consist of one to eight characters with an optional
one- to three-character extension. When the DOS operating system receives a file
name that contains more than eight characters, it truncates the file name.
Examples:
copy config alt.cfg
The
config
file on the active volume and names the copy
alt.cfg
copy 3:alt.cfg
The
alt.cfg
file on volume 3 and stores the copy, also
named
alt.cfg
, on the active volume
copy 2:l6_22.log
2:sp.log
The
l6_22.log
file on volume 2 and names the copy
sp.log
copy 2:config
3:config
The
config
file on volume 2 and stores the copy, also
named
config
, on volume 3
copy *.* 3:
All files from the active volume to volume 3
copy 2:*.exe 4:
All executable files from volume 2 to volume 4
copy 3:???.* 4:
All files with a file name of three characters from volume 3
to volume 4
Note:
You cannot copy from NVFS to DOS on an AFN, which allows only
one file system (NVFS) to be available after a system boot.
