Important Points to Remember
● You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
● You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
● When copying to a server, you can only use a host name if a domain name server (DNS) server is configured.
● The host IP address (hostip) supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the source-file-url and destination-file-url variables.
● When copying files to and from the system using FTP, HTTP, TFTP, or Telnet, you can specify a default IP source interface
for the file transfer protocol (ip {ftp | http |tlenet | tftp} source-interface commands). The IP source
interface can be a loopback, port-channel, or physical interface.
● HTTP copy operations support egress interface selection (EIS) to isolate management-plane and control-plane domains for
HTTP traffic. For more information, see Egress Interface Selection (EIS).
Example of Copying a File to an FTP Server

Save the Running-Configuration
The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Dell Networking recommends coping your running-
configuration to the startup-configuration.
The system uses the startup-configuration during boot-up to configure the system. The startup-configuration is stored in the
internal flash on the system by default, but it can be saved on a USB flash device or a remote server.
The commands in this section follow the same format as those commands in the Copy Files to and from the System section but
use the filenames startup-configuration and running-configuration. These commands assume that current directory is the
internal flash, which is the system default.
● Save the running-configuration to the startup-configuration on the system.
